title: Influx DB precision setting at DB Level
body: <p>Extension of <a href="https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/issues/8746" rel="nofollow noreferrer">#8746</a> : </p>
  
  <p>I have tried to set the precision in the config file as seconds. But as i write data and tries to fetch it its again showing Nanoseconds timestamp.</p>
  
  <p>I read the whole Doc but couldn't figure it out 
  only change in my config file is:  <code>precision = "s"</code></p>
  
  <p>help me understand these things</p>
  
  <p>How do I set the precision at DB level and how will I make sure I only get set precision timestamps in <code>epoch</code>. And I am using IST as timezone for my Application so also tell me how to set the same for InfluxDB in configuration</p>
  
  <p>I am using <code>python-influxdb</code> client <code>seriesHelper</code> to write data into db and not specifying any time while writing data.</p>
