Timestore not used exclusively?

I just looked at my feeds in emoncms.org and noticed that there is a mix of Timestore and MySQL feeds. I thought timestore had replaced MySQL? At least that is the impression I get when I read the documentation.

These are all new feeds so they are not old "legacy". I created a new input yesterday and configured three feeds, log, min and max. Only the log feed is Timestore. The min and max are MySQL feeds. Is this some specific configuration on emoncms.org?

If I install emoncms v6 will it only use timestore, if I want to. That is, I don not need to have MySQL installed and running?

Thats normal, as only Realtime feeds will be converter to Timestore.

Daily feeds such as Min & Max will remain in MySQL (they use very little storage space as they only sore 1 record per day).

So you will need MySQL to be installed even if you are using the Timestore version.

Ok, I thought Timestore was an alternative and that you could skip running a full-blown SQL-server. Storage is not an issue as  much as the resource overhead from running MySQL.
