Cliq Databases

Cliq Database is the perfect storage solution when building integrations on Cliq Platform. It provides the ability to store, sync, update data items with easy access. All the CRUD operations of the database are available as deluge tasks and also as standard  REST APIs. 

Note: Cliq Database Rest APIs are explained in our Rest API guide.

How to create a database

  2. In your Integration page, select Databases
  3. Click Create Database
  4. Configure the details shown below before clicking on Save & Edit Fields

Database Unique Name

The database unique name is a special identifier for your database and is a mandatory field. 

Allowed Values: The unique name allows only lowercase a-z letters and can have a maximum of 30 characters. 

Database Display Name

This database display name is shown in the user interface and is a mandatory field. 

Allowed Values: The database display name can have a maximum of 30 characters with lowercase and uppercase a-z letters, numbers, spaces and special characters except the following : " < > 

Description

Provide a brief description about the database's purpose. This field is mandatory with a character limit upto 250. 

Database Fields

  • Text - Field input can be of the type string, integer, boolean. Maximum number of characters allowed is 250.
  • Number - Field input should be of integer. Maximum number of characters allowed is 19.

55531
Total number of fields that can be added in a database19

Note: Under the free plan, you have the ability to create a maximum of 50 databases, while the unlimited plan allows you to create up to 100 databases.

How to add database fields

To add fields in a database, just drag and drop or click twice on the required field type and configure the following details to create the field

  • Field Display Name
  • Field Unique Name
  • Default Value
  • Mark field as Mandatory
  • Mark field as Unique  (not available for encrypted-text field and large-text field)
  • Mark field as Hidden (not available for encrypted-text field) 

Field Unique Name

The field unique name is a unique identifier for each field and is mandatory.

Allowed values:  A maximum of 30 lowercase a-z characters without any spaces or special characters are allowed.

Field Display Name 

The field display name will be displayed to the user. This field is optional. If the display name is not defined by the user, the unique name will be considered as the display name. 

Allowed values: The database display name can have a maximum of 30 characters with lowercase or uppercase a-z letters, spaces and special characters except the following : " < > .

Default Value

You can set a default value for each field during its creation. If no default value is set during creation, then the value is considered as empty by default for fields of the type text. It is mandatory to define a default value for the fields of the type number

Mandatory Field

Marking a field as mandatory requires the user to fill in a value for the field.

Adding values for the mandatory field during record creation: If a user tries to create a record without passing any input for the mandatory field, the createRecord api will throw an error, asking the user to specify a value for the mandatory column. 

In case of a record update, if a new value is not specified for the mandatory field then the existing value is maintained for the respective field. 

Unique Field

Marking a field as unique ensures that there is no duplication of values entered in any record for that particular field. During record creation, if an already existing value is inserted for a field marked as unique, the createRecord api will throw a duplicate entry found error.
