Storage
Epsilon stores information in tables that are, in turn, stored on the PostgreSQL database. You can query or retrieve information from these tables via APIs in escript. See additional information about escript in the Epsilon Cluster Workflow Developers guide.
Data Types
As with any table in a database that stores data, you can define the type of data that is to be stored in the columns of a table by specifying a data type for each column. Epsilon supports the following built-in data types:
- String: A string of any length, limited by memory and disk space on the server
- Number: A 32 bit integer value
- Secret: String that is encrypted on-disk
- Date: Timestamp
- Boolean: A TRUE or FALSE value
- Float: Floating point value
Creating a data type
You can create a custom data type using the existing data types in Epsilon. On the Storage page, click +New Type and create your custom data type. For additional information about creating, modifying, and updating tables, see the Epsilon Cluster Workflow Developers guide.
