The Database module provides structured data storage for your project. It allows you to view, manage, and export the data your project generates, and serves as the foundation for most data-driven features in YouBase.

Data Storage

Persistent, structured storage for your project data

Export & Backup

Download your data anytime for backup or analysis

Time Travel

Restore your database to any previous state

Tables Overview

The table list shows all database tables in your project. Once data is available, the table list displays:

All tables in the project
The total number of rows in each table
The latest autosave status

When the database contains data, the autosave status appears at the top: “Autosaved: just now · Time Travel”. Selecting Time Travel opens the database history and restore view.

Table List Capabilities

From the table list, you can:

View Tables

See all tables and their row counts

Copy Names

Copy table names by hovering over them

Refresh Data

Refresh the table list to load the latest data

Exporting the Database

You can export all database data at the project level.

Free Users
Paid Users

Export RestrictedClicking Export opens an upgrade prompt.

The export feature is labeled as a Pro capability
Upgrade to Pro or Ultra to enable database exports

Table Details

Selecting a table opens the table detail view, where you can inspect its contents.

Paginated Browsing

Navigate through records page by page

Adjustable Page Size

Choose 25, 50, or 100 rows per page (default: 50)

Each row represents a single record stored in the database.

Working with Table Data

Inside a table, you can:

View Records

View all records stored in the table

Copy Cell Values

Copy individual cell values by hovering over a cell

Copy Column Names

Copy column names for reference or debugging

Refresh Table

Refresh the table to load the latest data

These actions allow you to inspect and verify data without modifying table structure.

Exporting Table Data

You can export data from an individual table.

Exported data is packaged as a ZIP file
Each export contains only the selected table’s data

Export behavior follows the same rules as database export: Free users are prompted to upgrade, while paid users receive the prepared download automatically.

Table Structure & Limitations

Row Operations

You cannot manually add, edit, or delete rows

Schema Management

You cannot manually modify table structure

Tables, columns, and row data are managed by the system. Users cannot add, edit, or remove tables, columns, or rows directly. This design keeps data structures stable and avoids accidental changes in production projects.

Time Travel & Bookmarks

YouBase provides a Time Travel view for database history and recovery. This feature allows you to restore your database to a specific historical point.

View History

Browse through all recorded database changes

Restore Anytime

Roll back to any previous state with one click

Bookmarks

Bookmarks record key changes in your database and are listed in reverse chronological order (most recent first). Each bookmark includes:

Timestamp (displayed in the user’s local timezone)
Change description
Affected table(s), when applicable

Bookmark Types

There are three types of bookmarks:

Agent Changes
Manual Bookmarks
Restore Bookmarks

Automatic System Bookmarks

Automatically created when the system modifies the database.Examples:

Deleted {n} rows from "{table}"
Added {n} rows to "{table}"
Created table "{table}"
Added column "{column}" to "{table}"
Modified "{table}" with 4 changes
Modified database with 2 changes

User-Created Bookmarks

Created manually by the user to mark an important moment.Example:

Manual Bookmark · In Memory of 1K Users

Use manual bookmarks to mark milestones or important states you might want to restore later.

Restore Records

Automatically created after a successful restore action.Example:

Restore to 11-06 19:25:32

These bookmarks help you track when and where you restored your database.

Restore Behavior & Plan Limits

Restoring overwrites the current database state. All restore actions require confirmation.

Free
Pro
Ultra

Free Plan

Can view recent bookmarks only
Older bookmarks are hidden with an upgrade prompt
Restore not available

Upgrade prompts clearly indicate required plans before actions are taken.

When to Use the Database

The Database module is recommended when your project needs:

Persistent Storage

Store data that persists across sessions

Data Inspection

View and export your project’s data

Data Recovery

Recover from accidental data changes

AI Memory

Support for AI memory, logs, or usage history

If your project does not store structured data, the Database module is optional.

Common Use Cases

Below are common scenarios where the Database module is useful. You don’t need to match all of them — use these examples to decide whether your project needs structured data storage.

1. Saving form submissions

ScenarioYou want to store information submitted by users through a form.Examples

Contact forms
Feedback or survey responses
Sign-up or waitlist forms
