How does the database work?

When you describe features to Hercules, it creates the database structure automatically:
  • Add a blog with posts and comments creates posts and comments tables
  • Users should be able to save favorites creates a favorites table linked to users
  • Track order history creates an orders table with relationships
You don’t need to design the schema. Just describe the functionality and user experience you want, and Hercules will handle the rest.

​
What can I do in the Database UI?

Open Database in the sidebar to:
  • View all tables and their structure
  • Browse and edit individual records
  • Search and filter data
  • Bulk import data from CSV
