Difficulty creating non-time-series and bar charts with SQL datasources
Merchants struggle to visualize non-time-series data and create basic bar charts using MySQL and PostgreSQL. There is confusion regarding the correct query structure for values and metrics, and documentation on series grouping appears contradictory to the actual behavior.

I am not able to create a bar graph - time series in grafana.
If non-time-series data is not supported, why does the documentation say the following? The Series option means that the data is grouped by series and not by time.
I have data coming back from postgres as a resultset of ‘category’ (string): ‘count’ (numeric). How can I create a basic bar chart to show this data?
