While Tiger Data generally offers capabilities that go beyond what PostgreSQL offers, there are some limitations.

## Hypertable limitations

- Time dimensions (columns) used for partitioning cannot have NULL values.
- Unique indexes must include all columns that are partitioning dimensions.
- `UPDATE` statements that move values between partitions (chunks) are not supported. This includes upserts (`INSERT ... ON CONFLICT UPDATE`).
- Foreign key constraints from a hypertable referencing another hypertable are not supported.
- PostgreSQL [table inheritance](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-inherit.html) is not supported for hypertables and may lead to unexpected behavior.
