ConfiForms stores data in your database, same database you Confluence is using. Where exactly depends on the version of ConfiForms you are using. If you are on version 1.x of ConfiForms please consider upgrading to Data Center ready and much more performant 2.x version of ConfiForms. Please see Release Notes for details
| Version | Storage |
|---|---|
| Version 3.x | Same storage as in version 2.x, see below |
| Version 2.x | ConfiForms stores data in your Confluence database in a table "AO_CEFA84_CONFI_FORMS_ENTITY", one record per row. There are no limits on the dataset size per form in ConfiForms, but your database is limited to holding the total of 2,147,483,647 records (for all the forms). And the size of the record is limited by the number of characters your database can hold in a CLOB type field (ConfiForms limit is 2,147,483,647 bytes per record). |
| Version 1.x | ConfiForms stores data in page metadata table called OS_PROPERTYENTRY. Internally the data is stored as XML. As the data is stored as page metadata it becomes a part of Confluence standard backup and restrore procedure. But this also introduces the limits - we are able store (within one form) as much as the "text_val" field in "OS_PROPERTYENTRY" table can accomodate. You can have multiple ConfiForms, this limit is per form. For example, when Confluence uses MySQL database then this field type is MEDIUMTEXT which has a limit of 16MBs (which you can easily ALTER to be of a larger size). |

Please note that the numbers shown above are not reference numbers but just a snapshot of how ConfiForms performs on a very low level hardware. Please also note that the tables it renders are very huge in size and in normal life you will not output something like 1500 records to your users on a page just for fun...
I have a feature request - what shall I do?
