Yeah - I am really thrilled by that and would love to hear when a release is likely. Thanks @Wes Farnsworth for bringing this up.

Can't wait to try this out and replace Airtable... directly into Confluence :)

Where can I find a list of field types and options? For example, look up and formula fields?

@Lawrence Ladomery What I've seen from the published docs, videos, Orderly materials, it is not going to be a full-blown spreadsheet solution with formulas, e.g. At least, not initially.

@Aron Gombas _Midori_ I guess it will be more like Notion's version, which isn't as a spreadsheet on steroids but does allow for records and other types of content to be linked.

Hello there, I wonder if it would be possible to query with SQL for example? I know there is CQL, but I am used to query tables using SQL.

 

@Fabrice Huart - NSI and @marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-  commented about integrating with API. Any tips?

The Atlassian roadmap shows that Confluence Databases - EAP are now RELEASED. Screenshot 2023-08-16 at 11.52.45 AM.png
Does anyone see instructions come out on how to access the tool? 

Edit to add that it also says the Beta is rolling out in Q1 of 2024 now. So which is it?

@Wes FarnsworthI guess you could join the waitlist here: https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/databases

I have access to databases on my private instance but I guess that was due to the fact that I had Orderly Databases installed before they announced the acquisition,

What is the relation between the upcoming databases and this:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-Cloud-articles/Announcing-Table-Extensibility-to-better-visualize-data-in/ba-p/2318278

Will the databases replace, or connect to, those features?

Geeeee, how long will we have to wait until it is finally released?!

Please?

What are we going to use to organise data? Jira, Trello, or Confluence?

One can merge Jira Work, Trello, and Confluence into one program.

This will really improve my documentation as I'm having to maintain a lot of repeated data across different tables. I've signed up to the beta and am hoping I get access as soon as possible!

Hello @Divya Sriram,

I have signed up for the EAP months ago and I don't think we have heard anything since.

A whole department that I was trying to get on Jira and Confluence is currently purchasing Airtable.

Will there be more EAP this year?

Thanks,
JG

Hello,

Will this ability be restricted to data within Confluence, or could it, for example, read data from Assets in JSM?

Joel Scott November 2, 2023

Hi There, I'm not sure where else to ask this as I already signed up for access but I would loooooove to be a field trial customer for this feature.  Totally open to giving regular feedback if needed.

Franklin Russell November 2, 2023

Same here.  Would be great if we could be an early access customer to Databases.

Only makes sense after tables in Confluence have been static for so long on the demand is there. I wonder how data are stored in the background and can be accessed so that I can reference only a sub-set in another page to display, then let users refine these with filters

I had to start using confluence because the team I've joined were using confluence. If this feature update doesn't happen soon I am going to propose the team to switch to notion.

@Divya Sriram - Fantastic you've released the beta. 

It seems like the feedback function is not working, so sharing here. Great addition, keep up the good work to build something that brings the capability of Coda.

One issue I'm having: there's something buggy where the add an additional column function increases in width and reduces the column widths of other columns, and then the drag to resize column doesn't work properly and no column can be resized back to desired column widths (incl. the add column column). 

Cheers
