Every Bilt Cloud backend includes a PostgreSQL database. Bilt creates and manages the tables as your app needs them — you browse and edit everything from the Data tab under Settings → Database.

​
Browse your tables

Each table shows its column count and two badges:
  • Links to N tables — this table references others (for example, a posts table linked to profiles)
  • User-protected (green) — rows are private to the user who created them. Public (amber) means the table is readable by anyone using the app.
Expand a table to see its columns, with plain-language types (Text, Number, Date & time, File), plus Key for identifiers and Linked for columns that point at another table.

​
View and edit data

Click View Data on any table:
  • Rows load 100 per page, with search, sorting, and a column show/hide control
  • Edit a cell inline, or click Add row to insert one — ID columns stay read-only
  • Delete a row permanently (Bilt asks you to confirm; it can’t be undone)
  • Each row has an Ask Bilt shortcut to hand it to the chat agent

​
Run SQL directly

For developers: the Advanced tab has a SQL editor that runs queries against your database. Reads work immediately; to change or delete data, tick “This can change or delete data” first. Queries have a 30-second limit.

​
Ask for it in chat

You never have to design tables yourself:
Data doesn’t sync in real time between users. If one user should see another’s changes, ask Bilt to refresh the data periodically or when the screen opens.
