## Create a hypertable

You create a regular table and then convert it into a hypertable. A hypertable automatically partitions data into chunks based on your configuration.

## Enable columnstore

TimescaleDB's hypercore is a hybrid row-columnar store that boosts analytical query performance on your time-series and event data, while reducing data size by more than 90%. This keeps your queries operating at lightning speed and ensures low storage costs as you scale. Data is inserted in row format in the rowstore and converted to columnar format in the columnstore based on your configuration.

## Create continuous aggregates
Continuous aggregates are designed to make queries on very large datasets run faster. They continuously and incrementally refresh a query in the background, so that when you run such query, only the data that has changed needs to be computed, not the entire dataset. This is what makes them different from regular PostgreSQL [materialized views](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/rules-materializedviews.html), which cannot be incrementally materialized and have to be rebuilt from scratch every time you want to refresh it.
