Cloud database versions

A database version represents the FeatureBase version the database runs on. It is denoted as a “release number”-“commit hash” that corresponds to a commit to the open source repository. When you create a new database in FeatureBase Cloud, it will use the latest version.

Naming standards

FeatureBase identifiers (including object names such as databases, tables and columns) start with a lower-case alphabetic character and can include:

  • lower-case alphabetic characters
  • numbers 0-9
  • dash - and underscore _ characters.

  • database names can be up to 300 characters in length

Database states

Database states are represented by status in the FeatureBase application and API.

FeatureBase automatically backs-up your databases every 24 hours.
