I have sql with histogram and interval  
now after upgrade to 7.x it complains that it will be deprecated.

select histogram(status\_achieved, INTERVAL 1 day) as d

but when I type  
select histogram(status\_achieved, FIXED\_INTERVAL 1 day) as h  
or  
select histogram(status\_achieved, CALANDER\_INTERVAL 1 day) as h

it fails with errors. what would be the correct syntax. can't find it anywhere.

@elasticforme the deprecation message being displayed issue has been fixed in this PR: [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/45501](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/45501). The fix should be available in 7.2.2 and 7.3.1.

yes that I know.  
I am already using 7.2.0  
and want to use calander\_interval but does not work.

I guess I will give it try on 7.3.2 test machine that I have

Yes, you cannot decide which type of interval to use. HISTOGRAM always uses `fixed_interval` and it's not configurable because SQL doesn't have a notion of configurable histograms.
