Set up database and retention policy (DBRP) mapping

InfluxQL queries require a database and retention policy to query data. In InfluxDB {{% current-version %}}, databases and retention policies have been combined and replaced with buckets. To use the InfluxQL to query an InfluxDB {{% current-version %}} bucket, first map your DBRP combinations to an appropriate bucket. For more information, see Query data with InfluxQL.
