Deskree datatypes are not database-native types provided by the database company. Instead, it is an abstraction of those types with some additional functionality. We use those values to type-check the data sent via the APIs before it arrives in the database
Below is the list of all current datatypes and their description of use:
Datatype Name | Internal Format | Description | Limitations |
---|---|---|---|
If a column is set as required, the value must be provided during the API request, otherwise a 422
error will be returned.
In the internal format, those values are marked with ?
sign at the end of the data type. For example, an optional String data type will be String?
