Pricing

After creating a project, you have the flexibility to scale its resources and capacity to meet your specific data processing and analysis needs. This can be achieved through two methods: increasing or decreasing the number of worker nodes (horizontal scaling) or adjusting the resource capacity of each node in the project (vertical scaling).

Data processing is a crucial step in converting raw data into valuable insights.

Overview of data processing

Similar to traditional databases, RisingWave supports data updates and deletions within tables. Additionally, when data in a table is modified or deleted, any materialized views built on that table will be updated accordingly.

Deletes and updates

Transactions

This guide introduces how to maintain a wide table whose columns come from different sources. Traditional data warehouses or ETL use a join query for this purpose. However, streaming join brings issues such as low efficiency and high memory consumption.

Maintain wide table with table sinks

In stream processing, watermarks are integral when using event time processing logic with event time based operations. Watermarks are like markers or signals that track the progress of event time, allowing you to process events within their corresponding time windows. A watermark is an estimate of the maximum event time observed so far, or a threshold indicating that events received so far have a timestamp later than or equal to the current watermark. Events that arrive with a timestamp earlier than the current watermark are considered late and are not processed within its time window.

Watermarks

Indexes in a database are designed to increase the speed at which the database management system (DBMS) can locate and retrieve the desired data from a table or a materialized view.

Indexes

This guide describes how to leverage the time travel feature. This feature helps access historical data at a specific time.

Learn how to use the Iceberg table engine in RisingWave to store data natively in the Iceberg format.

RisingWave allows you to access and use insights from your streaming data immediately. It also functions like any other database, allowing you to query batch or raw data that you've inserted.

Access and use your processed data

Learn how to query data from RisingWave using SELECT statements through various interfaces.

Query with SELECT statements

A foreign data wrapper in PostgreSQL allows you to directly virtualize data stored in an external database as a local external table, also known as a foreign table. This tutorial will demonstrate how to interact between PostgreSQL and RisingWave. In this example, RisingWave will use CDC (Change Data Capture) to extract data from PostgreSQL, and analyze it using a materialized view. Then PostgreSQL will directly retrieve the computation results stored in RisingWave.

SQL references

Overview of the SQL commands supported by RisingWave.

SQL commands

The `ALTER CONNECTION` command modifies the definition of a connection. To use this command, you must own the connection.

ALTER CONNECTION

The `ALTER DATABASE` command modifies the definition of a database.

ALTER DATABASE

The `ALTER FUNCTION` command modifies the definition of a function. To use this command, you must own the function.

ALTER FUNCTION

The `ALTER INDEX` command modifies the definition of an index.

ALTER INDEX

The `ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW` command modifies the metadata of a materialized view. To use this command, you must own the materialized view.

ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW

The `ALTER SCHEMA` command modifies the definition of a schema. To use this command, you must own the schema.

ALTER SCHEMA

Use the `ALTER SECRET` command to alter the secrets that store sensitive credentials.

ALTER SECRET
