What happens when you connect

When you connect Cloud Firestore to Internal, we'll generate the following for you automatically:

  1. A list, insert, update, and delete function for each table in the database (if the connecting user account has these privileges). List functions read data from your tables and allow you to display that data in components - think of these as prebuilt SQL queries, so you don't have to write queries for everything.

📘

Note:

Functions will not be generated if no primary keys are found in the connected database.

Filtering and Sorting

Internal enables filtering and sorting on all columns that are indexed. While Firestore automatically creates most indexes for you, you may need to create missing indexes on your own. Supported operators vary based on the data type, but can include =, !=, <, <=",">, >=. </,>
