Database Tables

Database tables are essential components of your Twidget workspace, serving as the primary storage locations for your data. In Twidget, each table consists of rows and fields, meticulously designed for efficient data management and retrieval.

Structure of Database Tables

  • Rows: Each row in a database table represents a single data entry or record.

  • Fields: Fields are the individual columns in a table that store specific types of data. Each field has a designated datatype, and the data stored within must conform to this datatype.

Key Field Attributes

  • Datatypes: Each field in a table is assigned a datatype, which dictates the kind of data that can be stored in that field (e.g., text, number, date).

  • System-Generated Fields: Each entry in a table automatically includes a unique identifier (_id) and a timestamp (created_at) indicating when the entry was created.

Table Management

Twidget provides robust features for managing your database tables:

  • Edit Table: You can modify the structure of your table by adding or removing fields as needed.

  • Manage Data: Manage the entries in your table effortlessly with tools for editing, deleting, and viewing records.

Authentication Table

  • Special Table: Each workspace in Twidget can have one authentication table. This table is critical for storing user data and authenticating requests.

Data Operations

  • View Data Usage: Monitor your table’s data usage statistics via the tables toolbar located at the top of the page.

  • Import and Export: Easily import data into your table or export it for external use.

  • Filter and Sort: Utilize the filter and sort tools to refine the data displayed in your table according to specific criteria.

Database tables in Twidget are powerful and flexible, allowing you to efficiently store, manage, and interact with your data. From automatic system fields to comprehensive data operations and authentication functionalities, Twidget tables provide a robust framework for your no-code applications.
