## How to upgrade NocoDB ?
- Please see [here](https://docs.nocodb.com/getting-started/upgrading)
## How to export CSV from the grid view ?
- Available since [0.81.1](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/releases/tag/0.81.1)
## How to share the project with read only access ?
- Either you can invite by email with 'viewer' access control
- Share the base with publicly accessible link. Available since [0.82.0](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/releases/tag/0.82.0)
## How to check my current NocoDB version ?
- You can hover the NocoDB icon on the top left corner or check ``PackageVersion`` in Project info.
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/35857179/127765903-3ae876ad-6b46-4520-9d11-679b80eb7b08.png)
## How to check my Project info ?
- You can click on top right icon and click ``Copy Project Info``.
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/35857179/127765860-968b0c64-f08d-4674-9ecc-4d5c5a00428b.png)
You should see the similar result as below.
```
Node: **v16.5.0**
Arch: **x64**
Platform: **darwin**
Docker: **false**
Database: **sqlite3**
ProjectOnRootDB: **true**
RootDB: **sqlite3**
PackageVersion: **0.11.6**
```
## What is available in free version ?
- NocoDB has just one version that is free & open source.
- In it you will notice advanced features are all available for free.
- ACL
- Collaboration
- Advanced views : Form View, Gallery view, Kanban (coming soon)
- Share view,
- Embed view
- Password protected view,
- Automations
- API token support.
- And we would never move these features from free to an enterprise version of NocoDB.
- There is no limitations to number of projects, rows or columns either.
## Do you plan to have enterprise edition ?
For features that make sense for enterprises like below - yes
- SSO, SLA, Organisation wide reports and analytics,
- Advanced Audit or ACL,
- Bespoke implementations & integrations,
- A hosted solution.
And increasing number of our customers are requesting it.
## How do we decide if a feature is enterprise or not ?
- Depends on the effort and whether the intended users are enterprises.

## API Tokens
NocoDB allows creating API tokens which allow it to be integrated seamlessly with 3rd party apps.
### Which HTTP Header to use ?
- ```xc-token``` header should be set when invoking the NocoDB APIs with the token.

## Triggers
Webhooks allows user to trigger on certain operations on following database operations
- AFTER INSERT
- AFTER UPDATE
- AFTER DELETE
The triggers will trigger asynchronously without blocking the actual operation.
### Applications/services
| Trigger | Details |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| Email | Send email to certain email addresses |
| Slack | Notify via Slack channel |
| Microsoft Teams | Notify via Microsoft Teams channel |
| Discord | Notify via Discord channel |
| Mattermost | Notify via Mattermost channel |
| Twilio | Send SMS to certain mobile numbers |
| Whatsapp Twilio | Send Whatsapp messages to numbers using Twilio |
| URL | Invoke an HTTP API |
## Accessing Data: Handlebars
The current row data and other details will be available in the hooks payload so the user can use [handlebar syntax](https://handlebarsjs.com/guide/#simple-expressions) to use data.
> We are using [Handlebars](https://handlebarsjs.com/) library to parse the payload internally.
### Example
For a table with column names (id, title, created_at, updated_at).
For INSERT/ UPDATE based triggers, use following handlebars to access corresponding **data** fields.
- {{ **data**.id }}
- {{ **data**.title }}
- {{ **data**.created_at }}
- {{ **data**.updated_at }}
Note that, for Update trigger - all the fields in the ROW will be accessible, not just the field updated.
For DELETE based triggers, **only** {{ data.id }} is accessible representing ID of the column deleted.
For all trigger, following **user** information associated with person trigger can be accessed.
- {{ **user**.id }} : Unique auto incremented NocoDB system value
- {{ **user**.email }} : User E-mail.
- {{ **user**.roles }} : User Role amongst [Owner, Creator, Editor, Commenter, Viewer].
### JSON format
Use {{ json data }} {{ json user }} to dump complete data & user information available in JSON format
### Additional references:

<alert>
This is exclusive to NocoDB team members only.
</alert>
<alert types='danger'>
The version 0.84.8 will be used as an example. Please change it during the release.
</alert>
## 1. Merge ```develop``` to ```master```
- When several features are included in ``develop`` branch and they are ready to be released, make a PR with the title ``0.84.8 Pre-Release`` from `develop` branch to `master` branch. At least one NocoDB team member approval is required.
## 2. Publish frontend
- Navigate to `packages/nc-gui` and execute following command.
```bash
npm run build:copy:jsdeliver
```
## 3. Install frontend
- Install the latest published version of `nc-lib-gui` in `packages/nocodb`, package version can be extracted from result of step 1 or copy it from `packages/nc-lib-gui/package.json`. While installing, add `-E` to install exact version of the package.
- Example: for latest published version `0.84.8`
```bash
npm i -E nc-lib-gui@0.84.8
```
## 4. Publish backend
- Bump package version in `packages/nocodb/package.json` file.
- Publish the npm package by running following npm command in `packages/nocodb` folder.
```
npm run obfuscate:build:publish
```
## 5. Close all issues
- Go to Issue page and close all issues with tags ``Fixed`` or ``Resolved``.
## 6. Commit release changes
- Commit those changes made by previous steps with the commit message ``chore(publish): v0.84.8``.
## 7. Prepare release notes
- Populate release note by running following github action (on `master` branch) - `Release : Draft Notes`. While running the action you have to provide 2 inputs:
- **Tag** : Provide current package version
- **Previous Tag** : Provide previously released tag version
## 8. Publish docker & release
- Publish docker image by running `Release : Docker` action in github (on `master` branch), where you have to provide the package version/tag. It may take half an hour. Test it locally after it is done.
- Update the populated release (remove issues which is not related to release) draft and publish. In release note you can use `Auto-generate release notes` button to populate release content from commits & PR.
## 9. Sync the changes back to develop branch
- Pull the latest chagnes for both branches to your local
- Switch to ``develop`` branch
- Run ``git merge master``

### AWS ECS (Fargate)
#### Create ECS Cluster
```
aws ecs create-cluster \
--cluster-name <YOUR_ECS_CLUSTER>
```
#### Create Log group
```
aws logs create-log-group \
--log-group-name /ecs/<YOUR_APP_NAME>/<YOUR_CONTAINER_NAME>
```
#### Create ECS Task Definiton
Every time you create it, it will add a new version. If it is not existing, the version will be 1.
```bash
aws ecs register-task-definition \
--cli-input-json "file://./<YOUR_TASK_DEF_NAME>.json"
```
<alert>
This json file defines the container specification. You can define secrets such as NC_DB and environment variables here.
</alert>
Here's the sample Task Definition
```json
{
"family": "nocodb-sample-task-def",
"networkMode": "awsvpc",
"containerDefinitions": [{
"name": "<YOUR_CONTAINER_NAME>",
"image": "nocodb/nocodb:latest",
"essential": true,
"logConfiguration": {
"logDriver": "awslogs",
"options": {
"awslogs-group": "/ecs/<YOUR_APP_NAME>/<YOUR_CONTAINER_NAME>",
"awslogs-region": "<YOUR_AWS_REGION>",
"awslogs-stream-prefix": "ecs"
}
},
"secrets": [{
"name": "<YOUR_SECRETS_NAME>",
"valueFrom": "<YOUR_SECRET_ARN>"
}],
"environment": [{
"name": "<YOUR_ENV_VARIABLE_NAME>",
"value": "<YOUR_ENV_VARIABLE_VALUE>"
}],
"portMappings": [{
"containerPort": 8080,
"hostPort": 8080,
"protocol": "tcp"
}]
}],
"requiresCompatibilities": [
"FARGATE"
],
"cpu": "256",
"memory": "512",
"executionRoleArn": "<YOUR_ECS_EXECUTION_ROLE_ARN>",
"taskRoleArn": "<YOUR_ECS_TASK_ROLE_ARN>"
}
```
#### Create ECS Service
```bash
aws ecs create-service \
--cluster <YOUR_ECS_CLUSTER> \
--service-name <YOUR_SERVICE_NAME> \
--task-definition <YOUR_TASK_DEF>:<YOUR_TASK_DEF_VERSION> \
--desired-count <DESIRED_COUNT> \
--launch-type "FARGATE" \
--platform-version <VERSION> \
--health-check-grace-period-seconds <GRACE_PERIOD_IN_SECOND> \
--network-configuration "awsvpcConfiguration={subnets=["<YOUR_SUBSETS>"], securityGroups=["<YOUR_SECURITY_GROUPS>"], assignPublicIp=ENABLED}" \
--load-balancer targetGroupArn=<TARGET_GROUP_ARN>,containerName=<CONTAINER_NAME>,containerPort=<YOUR_CONTAINER_PORT>
```
<alert>
If your service fails to start, you may check the logs in ECS console or in Cloudwatch. Generally it fails due to the connection between ECS container and NC_DB. Make sure the security groups have the correct inbound and outbound rules.
</alert>
## Development Setup
If you want to modify the source code,
- Start the backend locally
```bash
cd packages/nocodb
npm install
npm run watch:run
```
- Start the frontend locally
```bash
cd packages/nc-gui
npm install
npm run dev
```
- Open ``localhost:3000/dashboard`` in browser
<alert>
nocodb/packages/nocodb includes nc-lib-gui which is the built version of nc-gui hosted in npm registry. <br>
You can visit localhost:8000/dashboard in browser after starting the backend locally if you just want to modify the backend only.
</alert>

Updating nocodb docker container is similar to updating [any other docker container](https://www.whitesourcesoftware.com/free-developer-tools/blog/update-docker-images/).
### Example docker upgrade
![Screen Shot 2021-09-16 at 09 23 07](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5435402/133578984-53c6b96b-3e8b-4a96-b6c2-36f3c09ffdde.png)
## Node
Updating docker container is similar to updating a npm package.
From your root folder
#### Uninstall nocodb package
```bash
npm uninstall nocodb
```
#### Install nocodb package
```bash
npm install --save nocodb
```
## Heroku
### Using the Heroku CLI login
```
heroku container:login
docker pull nocodb/nocodb:latest
docker tag nocodb/nocodb:latest registry.heroku.com/<Heroku App Name>/web
docker push registry.heroku.com/<Heroku App Name>/web
heroku container:release -a <Heroku App Name> web
```
#### On Apple M1 Chipset
> Please make sure you change Docker's default architecture to `linux/amd64` by running the following command _before_ executing the aforementioned steps
>
> ```export DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/amd64```
>
> More details [here](https://medium.com/geekculture/from-apple-silicon-to-heroku-docker-registry-without-swearing-36a2f59b30a3).
### Using GitHub
Fork the [nocodb-seed-heroku repository](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb-seed-heroku) to your GitHub account.
Login to Heroku, go to your NocoDB app, and head to the "Deploy" tab.
Select "GitHub" in the "Deployment method" section.
In the "Connect to GitHub" section, search for your forked nocodb-seed-heroku repo. Connect to it:
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/55474996/143479577-e8bdc1f0-99d1-4072-8d95-4879cc54ddb2.png)
In the "Automatic deploys" section, select "Enable Automatic Deploys":
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/55474996/143479705-b5280199-aa31-40db-a5aa-7586eb918c01.png)
Head back to your forked nocodb-seed-heroku repo on your GitHub account. Edit one of your files and make a simple modification (example, add some random characters to the readme.md) and commit the change directly to the main branch.
This will trigger the Heroku deployment. Your app should now be updated to the latest release of NocoDB.

## Welcome!
NocoDB is an open source Airtable alternative.
NocoDB works by connecting to any relational database and transforming them into a smart spreadsheet interface! This allows you to build no-code applications collaboratively with teams. NocoDB currently works with MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, SQLite, Amazon Aurora & MariaDB databases.
Also NocoDB's app store allows you to build business workflows on views with combination of Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Twilio, Whatsapp, Email & any 3rd party APIs too. Plus NocoDB provides programmatic access to APIs so that you can build integrations with Zapier / Integromat and custom applications too.

## Why are we building this ? 🎯
Most internet businesses equip themselves with either spreadsheet or a database to solve their business needs. Spreadsheets are used by a Billion+ humans collaboratively every single day. However, we are way off working at similar speeds on databases which are way more powerful tools when it comes to computing. Attempts to solve this with SaaS offerings has meant horrible access controls, vendor lockin, data lockin, abrupt price changes & most importantly a glass ceiling on what's possible in future.
## Our Mission : ❤
Our mission is to provide the most powerful no-code interface for databases which is open source to every single internet business in the world. This would not only democratise access to a powerful computing tool but also bring forth a billion+ people who will have radical tinkering-and-building abilities on internet.

### Relationship types:
- One to one
- A Table record in first table is related to only one record of second table.
- Example: Country has a capital city
- One to many
- A Table record in first table is related to more than one record of second table. But second table record maps to only one entry of first table
- NocoDB refers to this category of relationship as **has many**
- For every **has many** relation defined, NocoDB augments **belongs to** relationship column in the other table automatically
- Example: Country **has many** Cities. (other way mapping > City **belongs to** Country )
- Many to many
- A Table record in first table is related to more than one record of second table; second table record can also map to more than on record of first table.
- NocoDB refers to this category of relationship as **many to many**
- For every **many to many** relation defined between tables, NocoDB augments **many to many** relationship column in the other table automatically
- Example: Film **has many** Actors. Actor **has many** Films (works on many films)
Further details of relationship types can be found [here](https://afteracademy.com/blog/what-are-the-different-types-of-relationships-in-dbms)
Relationships between table records can be established by using **LinkToAnotherRecord** column type.

## Project Metadata
The metadata is stored in meta directory in project level, database level, and API level.
Under ``Project Metadata``, you can perform the following operations.
- Export all metadata from the meta tables to meta directory
- Import all metadata from the meta directory to meta tables
- Export project meta to zip file and download
- Import project meta zip file and restart
- Clear all metadata from meta tables
<alert>
Import won't work with zip files exported from the older version of apps (< 0.11.6). <br>
Import / Export will only transfer metadata and files related to the project and not any table data in the project.
</alert>
## Migration example
### Export metadata
Source project : Under ``Meta Management`` tab, select ``Export zip``, click ``Submit``. This step extracts project metadata and stores it in compressed (zip) format
![meta-dev](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/86527202/130780497-89578bd0-a417-468a-92d8-88c5c07a72b0.png "Step-Export")
### Import metadata
Destination project : Under ``Meta Management`` tab, select ``Import zip``, select ``meta.zip`` file stored in previous step. This step imports project metadata from compressed file (zip) selected and restarts project.

## What is a 'Primary value' ?
- Primary value as the name stands is the primary or main value within a row of a table that you generally associate that row with.
- It should be usually associated with a column which is uniquely identifiable. However, this uniqueness is not enforced at the database level.
## What is the use of 'Primary value' ?
- Within a spreadsheet, primary value are always highlighted so that it is easier to recognise what row we are in.
- And when LinkToAnotherRecord is created between two tables - it is the primary value that appears in LinkToAnotheRecord column.

## How is ```Primary value``` identfied for existing database tables ?
- It is usually the first column after the primary key which is not a number.
- If there is no column which is not a number then the column adjacent to primary key is chosen.
## Can I change the ```Primary Value``` to another column within tables ?
- Yes, you can. Hover over column which you want as primary column and click ```Set as Primary Value```

## Rollup
Sample simple Organization structure:
- 5 verticals, each vertical has a team name & associated team code
- 5 employees working at different verticals
- Vertical **has many** Employees : relationship has been defined
![LookUp](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/86527202/144038845-402d5401-a214-4166-bc07-fcf8dcc8a961.png)
### RollUp AGGREGATION functions supported
- Count
- Minimum
- Maximum
- Average
- Sum
- Count Distinct
- Sum Distinct
- Average Distinct

## How to sync schema changes to NocoDB.
NocoDB allows you to sync schema changes if you have made changes outside NocoDB GUI. However, it has to be noted then you will have to bring your own
schema migrations for moving from environment to other.
Below are the steps to sync schema changes.
1. Under `Settings` menubar, click `Project Metadata`
2. Under `Meta Management` tab, click on `Metadata` sub tab.
3. Changes carried outside GUI, identified by NocoDB are listed under `Sync state`
4. Click `Sync Now` to complete Schema sync procedure.
![metasync](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/86527202/147923717-630f0e0f-7c7a-431c-a50d-8f9376a06eb7.png)
## Note
1. Column rename operation will be treated like 'column delete' & 'column create' operation
2. Only table schema changes identified will be listed under `Sync state`; any changes to records are automatically synchronized.
