Note that D1's existing limits are currently hard architectural limits (the 10GB limit I mean), it's not an artificial limit.

Sathyamshu•8/26/25, 7:02 AM

How to plan the database split for an application with more writes and reads? (cause the hard limit for a db is just 10 GB)
1. create databases with limited number of releatable tables
2. replicate the whole db structure, scale them horizontally and query them using the workers to map the right db
3. Please answer

which is the best practice? what does cloudflare recommend?
what's the next best alternative for this ?

If you need a handful of DBs, D1 works fine, pre-create all the DBs upfront and attach them to your worker and use them as you wish.

If you need hundreds/thousands/millionds of these DBs, then it's much better to use SQLite Durable Objects. It's the same underlying storage and SQLite engine, but you have a much easier dev experience to use as many DBs as you wish.

D1 allows you to capture exceptions and log errors returned when querying a database. To debug D1, you will use the same tools available when debugging Workers.

I have a repo that uses D1 with a very standard setup - D1 locally for developing, remote D1 for production. Does anyone know of an example repo that demonstrates good tests practices for D1. Test isolation, etc?

Tim Reynolds•8/30/25, 8:46 PM

I'm sure you get this feedback a lot but with workers now supporting preview deploys it would be good to have proper branch based D1 environments that we're linked to a preview build, today as far as I'm aware you can only have a single preview D1 instance used across all branches. This is quite limiting compared to using other setups like Neon or supabase with say vercel.

Chaika•8/31/25, 7:59 PM

It's all just Sqlite: https://www.sqlite.org/datatype3.html
There's no direct date/timestamp type, but it supports converting between text/real/int when you use date functions
Any type you specify that does not exist just fallbacks to numeric

sirhype•8/31/25, 7:59 PM

Ah, that's an interesting functionality. Thank you!

sirhype•8/31/25, 8:00 PM

Was confused because I saw this

sirhype•8/31/25, 8:00 PM

and it seemed to be treated as an integer

sirhype•8/31/25, 8:03 PM

but it's definitely not, so that makes sense now

Ssirhype and it seemed to be treated as an integer

Chaika•8/31/25, 8:06 PM

ah yea opps the default underlying type is numeric, but it can accept text/anything else so I always forget that

A column with NUMERIC affinity may contain values using all five storage classes. When text data is inserted into a NUMERIC column, the storage class of the text is converted to INTEGER or REAL (in order of preference) if the text is a well-formed integer or real literal, respectively. If the TEXT value is a well-formed integer literal that is too large to fit in a 64-bit signed integer, it is converted to REAL. For conversions between TEXT and REAL storage classes, only the first 15 significant decimal digits of the number are preserved. If the TEXT value is not a well-formed integer or real literal, then the value is stored as TEXT. For the purposes of this paragraph, hexadecimal integer literals are not considered well-formed and are stored as TEXT. (This is done for historical compatibility with versions of SQLite prior to version 3.8.6 2014-08-15 where hexadecimal integer literals were first introduced into SQLite.) If a floating point value that can be represented exactly as an integer is inserted into a column with NUMERIC affinity, the value is converted into an integer. No attempt is made to convert NULL or BLOB values.

a bit messy. There's implicit conversion everywhere so you can get away with a lot

sirhype•8/31/25, 8:28 PM

Thanks for the explanation!

sirhype•8/31/25, 8:28 PM

Another question, what are "Default SQLite extensions"

sirhype•8/31/25, 8:29 PM

Does it include these?

Ssirhype Another question, what are "Default SQLite extensions"

Chaika•8/31/25, 8:44 PM

hmm yea that's questionable documentation

The Sqlite compilation for D1 is part of the open source workerd but hard to read: https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd/blob/4c42a4a9d3390c88e9bd977091c9d3395a6cd665/build/BUILD.sqlite3#L13

More simply, there's an specific allowlist of functions you're allowed to use with D1:
https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd/blob/4c42a4a9d3390c88e9bd977091c9d3395a6cd665/src/workerd/util/sqlite.c%2B%2B#L269
Json and fts5 are the only ones allowed for extensions/not base (and I've used both before, they def work).
They also only allow specific Virtual Tables for fts5 and fts5vocab: https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd/blob/4c42a4a9d3390c88e9bd977091c9d3395a6cd665/src/workerd/util/sqlite.c%2B%2B#L1155 so anything that depends on Virtual Tables (like zipfiles, csv, etc) will def not work

lambrospetrou•9/1/25, 4:31 PM

We made the docs a bit more explicit now, although it's a bit hard to list every single extension that is enabled by default in SQLite 3.47: https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/sql-api/sql-statements/#supported-sqlite-extensions

one bit of feedback I've noticed about the D1 Studio! I have a bunch of tables without a rowid (since they have TEXT UUID primary keys), and I've noticed that the studio loves to append rowid to queries, making almost all interactions fail. The most annoying here is individual updates.

Zack•9/3/25, 9:58 AM

Hey, so thought I would just raise this here because I have no idea what is happening. We have a dev D1 database that we deployed on a branch via terraform to test out some stuff. Our main branch ran some other terraform 2 weeks ago and deleted this dev D1 database, however a dev worker that was connected to this D1 database can still read this fine even today. I didn't even realise anything was wrong until I went to run new terraform today on this branch and it complained that the database was missing and needed to be re-created. Not sure what's going on here but feels weird (even though maybe nice for some people if they make a mistake) for the database to just sit around for 2 weeks when it shows as deleted in the dashboard. Who knows how long it''ll actually live on for. The database ID is/was 04a58760-3751-4337-bb3f-29a671a98cdd04a58760-3751-4337-bb3f-29a671a98cdd and the worker still connected to it is tiles-devtiles-dev in our account, specifically deployment 76803c3776803c37.

Your database is indeed marked deleted in our database (API) (on 2025-08-19 11:51:40.308558+00). When at that point of the delete request we cannot communicate with the DB itself, we have an async flow for the DB (DO) itself to mark itself as deleted on the next heartbeat. I am looking into why that part failed.
