Issue - unknown database version
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.
An unknown database version can occur for a number of reasons
Causes
A database has an “Unknown” version when it fails to respond to queries.
The cause may be any of the following:
| Database Status | Description |
|---|---|
| “BACKUP” | All instances should be available for queries, attempts should be made to not tax the instance backing up |
| “CREATING” | Not available for queries, nothing exists yet |
| “DEGRADED” | Available for queries, some instances are down but the database is in a serviceable state and automatic recovery efforts will be underway |
| “DELETED” | Not available for queries, they are all gone |
| “DELETING” | Not available for queries, user has committed to deleting the db |
| “DEPROVISIONING” | Not available for queries, instances are being actively destroyed |
| “FAILED” | Not available for queries, a provisioning failure has occurred and there shouldn’t be any data |
| “FROZEN” | Unknown instances should be available for queries, queries should be allowed to help with diagnosis. |
| “PROVISIONING” | Not available for queries, instances are being provisioned and configured |
| “RESTORING” | All instances should be available for queries, incomplete results will be given on some cases |
| “RUNNING” | All instances should be available for queries |
| “UPDATING” | Instances will be coming in and out of the cluster as they are updated, only active instances should be queried |
Solution
In most cases, the solution is to simply wait. Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
| Database Status | Solution |
|---|---|
| “BACKUP” | Wait for the database to finish backing up |
| “CREATING” | Wait for the database to finish creating |
| “DEGRADED” | Wait for the database to recover |
| “DELETED” | The version is irretrievable, the database has been deleted |
| “DELETING” | The version is irretrievable, the database will be deleted |
| “DEPROVISIONING” | The version is irretrievable, the database will be deleted |
| “FAILED” | Delete this database and create a new one |

| “PROVISIONING” | Wait for the database to finish provisioning |
| “RESTORING” | Wait for the database to finish restoring |
| “RUNNING” | Contact FeatureBase support |
| “UPDATING” | Wait for the database to finish updating |
