Database tables =============== A Corda node database contains tables corresponding to the various services that the node provides. It also contains custom tables defined by the CorDapps that are installed on the node. Currently all these tables share the same database schema, but in a future release they will be isolated from each other. .. note:: Unless specified otherwise the node tables are for internal use and can change between versions. Some tables, especially the ones where the ``Ledger`` is maintained are append-only and the data will never change. .. warning:: Manually adding, removing or updating any data should only be done with great care. Corda is a distributed ledger and modifying data could lead to unexpected behaviour and inconsistent views of the ledger. Network map ----------- Node Infos ^^^^^^^^^^ These are tables that store the NodeInfo of other network participants. They are just a local cache that is kept in sync with the network map server. By calling ``rpc.clearNetworkMapCache()`` all these tables will be cleared and recreated from the network map server. Read more here: :doc:`network-map` .. image:: resources/database/node_info_tables.png :scale: 50% :align: center ============================== ========================================================================================== NODE_INFOS Stores ``NodeInfo`` objects. The principal table. ============================== ========================================================================================== NODE_INFO_ID Primary key NODE_INFO_HASH Hash of the binary nodeInfo file PLATFORM_VERSION Declared version of the participant node. SERIAL Version of the NodeInfo ============================== ========================================================================================== ============================== ========================================================================================== NODE_INFO_HOSTS Many-to-one addresses to node ============================== ========================================================================================== HOSTS_ID Primary key HOST_NAME Host name of the participant's node PORT Port NODE_INFO_ID FK to NODE_INFOS ============================== ========================================================================================== ============================== ========================================================================================== NODE_INFO_PARTY_CERT Legal identity for a network participant ============================== ========================================================================================== PARTY_NAME The X500 name OWNING_KEY_HASH The public key ISMAIN If this is a main identity PARTY_CERT_BINARY The certificate chain ============================== ========================================================================================== ============================== ========================================================================================== NODE_LINK_NODEINFO_PARTY Many-to-Many link between the hosts and the legal identities ============================== ========================================================================================== NODE_INFO_ID FK to Node_info PARTY_NAME FK to NODE_INFO_PARTY_CERT ============================== ========================================================================================== Node identities ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The following two tables are used by the ``IdentityService`` and are created from the NodeInfos. They are append only tables used for persistent caching. They will also be cleared on ``rpc.clearNetworkMapCache()``.

Each downloaded network parameters file will create an entry in this table. The historical network parameters are used when validating transactions, which makes this table logically part of the ``Ledger``. It is an append only table and the size will be fairly small. ============================== ========================================================================================== NODE_NETWORK_PARAMETERS Stores the downloaded network parameters. ============================== ========================================================================================== HASH The hash of the downloaded file. Used as a primary key. EPOCH The version of the parameters PARAMETERS_BYTES The serialized bytes SIGNATURE_BYTES The signature CERT First signer certificate in the certificate chain.

This table can grow very large. It is an append-only table, and the data will never change. Read more in :doc:`node-services` - ``DBTransactionStorage`` This is the key ledger table used as a source of truth. In the future the content will be encrypted to preserve confidentiality. ============================== ========================================================================================== NODE_TRANSACTIONS Corda transactions in a binary format ============================== ========================================================================================== TX_ID The hash of the transaction. Primary key. TRANSACTION_VALUE The binary representation of the transaction. STATE_MACHINE_RUN_ID The flow id associated with this transaction. ============================== ========================================================================================== | Contract upgrades ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Read more in :doc:`contract-upgrade` ============================== ========================================================================================== NODE_CONTRACT_UPGRADES Represents an authorisation to upgrade a state_ref to a contract. ============================== ========================================================================================== STATE_REF The authorised state. CONTRACT_CLASS_NAME The contract. ============================== ========================================================================================== This table should be empty when no states are authorised for upgrade or after authorised states have been upgraded.

Mainly used by CorDapps that need to simulate accounts. ============================== ========================================================================================== ID Primary key EXTERNAL_ID External id PUBLIC_KEY_HASH Public key hash ============================== ========================================================================================== These tables should be append only. Node state machine ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Read more in :doc:`node-services` ============================== ========================================================================================== NODE_CHECKPOINTS Stores the flow checkpoints. ============================== ========================================================================================== CHECKPOINT_ID Primary key CHECKPOINT_VALUE Serialized application stack. ============================== ========================================================================================== This table will see the most intense read-write activity. Depending on the installed flows and the traffic on the node the I/O operations on this table will be the main bottleneck of the node performance. There will be an entry for every running flow. Draining the node means waiting for this table to become emtpy.

CONSTRAINT_DATA The hash or the composite key depending on the ``CONSTRAINT_TYPE`` ============================== ========================================================================================== The ``VAULT_STATES`` table contains an entry for every relevant state. This table records the status of states and allows CorDapps to soft lock states it intends to consume. Depending on the installed CorDapps this table can grow. For example when fungible states are used. In case this table grows too large, the DBA can choose to archive old consumed states. The actual content of the states can be retrieved from the ``NODE_TRANSACTIONS`` table by deserializing the binary representation. ============================== ========================================================================================== VAULT_TRANSACTION_NOTES Allows additional notes per transaction ============================== ========================================================================================== SEQ_NO Primary key TRANSACTION_ID The transaction NOTE The note ============================== ========================================================================================== ============================== ========================================================================================== STATE_PARTY Maps participants to states ============================== ========================================================================================== OUTPUT_INDEX Reference to a state - index in transaction TRANSACTION_ID Reference to a state - transaction id PUBLIC_KEY_HASH The pk of the participant X500_NAME The name of the participant or null if unknown. ============================== ========================================================================================== ============================== ========================================================================================== V_PKEY_HASH_EX_ID_MAP This is a database view used to map states to external ids. ============================== ========================================================================================== OUTPUT_INDEX Reference to a state - index in transaction TRANSACTION_ID Reference to a state - transaction id PUBLIC_KEY_HASH The public key of the participant.
