#### Binary data history converted to hypertable on TimescaleDB

The `history_bin` table has been converted to hypertable on TimescaleDB to benefit from automatic partitioning on time (1 day by default) and better performance.

To successfully upgrade existing installations:

1.  Start Zabbix server; this will upgrade the existing database.
2.  Check the server log file that the database upgrade has been successful; if so, stop Zabbix server and proceed to the next step.
3.  Run the `postgresql/timescaledb/schema.sql` script (since Zabbix 7.0.0, the script's location and name has been changed from `postgresql/timescaledb.sql` to `postgresql/timescaledb/schema.sql`).
    Note that Zabbix server will log a warning if started without running this script.
