[rrd-users] Re: inserting historical data to rrdtool

[Tobias Oetiker]

Today you sent me mail regarding [rrd-users] Re: inserting historical data...:

the problem here is, to see what rrdtool is for and what it is not
for. RRDtool is a specialized database for storing time series
data. It is fast and can eat data as it comes from your measurment
equipment ... 

RRDtool is not a sql database system ... and if you are tring to
make it into one this is not going to work ... honest, I know the
code ... 

cheers

PS and incidentely there are mysql and postgresql which do the
'store data as is', 'insert, delete, edit' thing very well ...
