Other SQL operators

SQL supports miscellaneous operators that perform various operations.

Operator Meaning
|| Concatenate strings

||

The || operator concatenates two string operands into a single string.

SELECT 'Hello' || ' world' AS "Concatenated"
Concatenated
Hello world

AT TIME ZONE

The AT TIME ZONE operator applies the offset of the specified time zone to a timestamp type and returns an updated UTC timestamp. Time zone offsets are provided by the the operating system time zone database.

Timestamp types in InfluxDB always represent a UTC time. The returned timestamp is a UTC timestamp adjusted for the offset of the specified time zone.

SELECT
  '2024-01-01 00:00:00'::TIMESTAMP AT TIME ZONE 'America/Los_Angeles' AS 'UTC with TZ offset'
UTC with TZ offset
2024-01-01T08:00:00.000Z
