Realtime Database
Realtime is the default database (if you omit the attribute, then it is used). It contains data for maximum of the last 48 hours. The main cases when it is used is for:
- subscriptions, where realtime dataset is a source of the new updates
- query the latest data available with minimum delay (up to the current block)
Note that the last blocks in the real time database are not finalized and may be not later recorded to the archive data. Select Block attribute controls how you can query the trunk or branch block updates in real time database.
tip
Realtime Database features:
