Refreshing/Updating your database

What does refreshing do?

In BlazeSQL, refreshing your database simply means BlazeSQL will check if any tables or columns have been added or removed from your database. This ensures that the chatbot does not see outdated metadata which could result in incorrect queries.

Any descriptions you provided will not be lost, as long as the names of the schemas, tables and columns that the descriptions are for have not changed.

How to refresh your database

To update your database in BlazeSQL, simply click the 🔄 button next to “Database structure” in the chat page.

What does updating do?

Updating your database allows you to update the database credentials, which will be followed by an automatic refresh (i.e. pulling the latest table/column names as described above).

How to update your database

To update your database in BlazeSQL, simply click the Options button above your database in the chat page, then click the "Update" button. Then you will see this modal:

Editing your database

Changing the table selection

If you were asked to select a subset of tables when you connected your database (this happens when you have more than 20 tables), you can edit this selection by updating your database. When you update your database, you will once again be asked to select the tables you want to keep.
