In InfluxDB, a point represents a single data record, similar to a row in a SQL database table. Each point:
- Has four components: a measurement, a tag set, a field set, and a timestamp.
- Is represented by one row in [line protocol](/v2.0/reference/line-protocol/).
- Is uniquely identified by its series and timestamp. In a series, each point has a unique timestamp. If you write a point to a series with a timestamp that matches an existing point, the field set becomes a union of the old and new field set, where any ties go to the new field set.
- has a measurement, a tag set, a field key, a field value, and a timestamp;

In a series, each point has a unique timestamp.
If you write a point to a series with a timestamp that matches an existing point, the field set becomes a union of the old and new field set, where any ties go to the new field set.

## series key
A series key identifies a particular series by measurement, tag set, and field key.
For example:
```
# measurement, tag set, field key
h2o_level, location=santa_monica, h2o_feet
```
