Deleting compressed data without decompressing?

TimescaleDB and PostgreSQL

Hello

I saw that TimescaleDB was working on a solution that will allow you to delete data from compressed chunks without manually having to decompress first.

Do you know anything about when this is gonna be released?

King regards

Hi @YBenarab, I saw this is an old question and I was investigating the actual situation. It’s impossible to not decompress as the data should be dropped.

I see that this PR was recently merged: Support UPDATE/DELETE on compressed hypertables. by sb230132 · Pull Request #5339 · timescale/timescaledb · GitHub

Probably It will be released soon in the next version.
