Column Mode

This option is available only with plain text storage. In Column Mode “Single”, all symbols are stored in separate columns.

Example: Column Mode “Single”

Timestamp	Main.fTest1	Main.fTest2	Main.nTest
2026-07-14 10:36:01.001	0.12	0.56	1
2026-07-14 10:36:01.002	0.34	0.78	2

In Column Mode “Grouped”, symbols are sorted according to their base data types and stored in a single column.

Example: Column Mode “Grouped”

Timestamp	Symbol name	fValue	nValue
2026-07-14 10:36:01.001	Main.fTest1	0.12
2026-07-14 10:36:01.001	Main.fTest2	0.56
2026-07-14 10:36:01.001	Main.nTest		1
2026-07-14 10:36:01.002	Main.fTest1	0.34
2026-07-14 10:36:01.002	Main.fTest2	0.78
2026-07-14 10:36:01.002	Main.nTest		2

After starting the storage, communication with the database begins. At this point, the Storage Provider itself creates the required tables. Each recording configuration is saved in a separate table.
