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

sirhypeOP•8/31/25, 7:59 PM

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

sirhypeOP•8/31/25, 8:00 PM

Was confused because I saw this

sirhypeOP•8/31/25, 8:00 PM

and it seemed to be treated as an integer

sirhypeOP•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

sirhypeOP•8/31/25, 8:28 PM

Thanks for the explanation!

sirhypeOP•8/31/25, 8:28 PM

Another question, what are "Default SQLite extensions"

sirhypeOP•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.

lambrospetrou•9/3/25, 12:45 PM

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.

Just to circle back on that. It's not a read replication issue, there is a regression in our API that returns always "disabled" for read replication mode hence the UI always shows that.
Read replication is still enabled though, and works fine.

That means you send more requests than what your DB can process. It's not a fixed number limit since it depends on your queries. D1 is single threaded, so the slower the queries, the less amount it can execute. Some users do more than 1K/sec, others can only do 10/s.

lambrospetrou•9/5/25, 6:41 PM

It's single threaded, and in each query we return its execution time, so you can track the latency of your queries and judge how many you can handle per second on average based on your traffic.
For example, if you see that your queries are on average 2ms, then you can handle roughly 500.

Exceeded maximum DB size

This error means that either you are inserting more than the limit for a single DB according to your plan (500MB/10GB), OR, that you are exceeding your account storage limit, again according to your plan.
If you go through support or you account manager they can raise the account limits. The DB size limit cannot be raised higher than 10GB.
