Nodejs.Sql.Insert.Partial - Questdb

This example uses the pg package which allows for quickly building queries using Postgres wire protocol. Details on the use of this package can be found on the node-postgres documentation.

This example uses naive Date.now() * 1000 inserts for Timestamp types in microsecond resolution. For accurate microsecond timestamps, the process.hrtime.bigint() call can be used.
