Selecting chunks to compress
At the psql prompt, select all chunks in the table
examplethat are older than three days:This returns a list of chunks. Take note of the chunks' names:
||show_chunks| |---|---| |1|_timescaledb_internal_hyper_1_2_chunk| |2|_timescaledb_internal_hyper_1_3_chunk|
When you are happy with the list of chunks, you can use the chunk names to manually compress each one.
