Chapter 3 - Export

You can export the document from the workspace. You should export your document regularly, the workspace, as its name suggest is mainly for temporary storage while doing the work. In the browser the app uses OPFS, which comes with some limitation, and maybe purged by the system to reclaim space. The constraints are browser-dependent. To avoid any loss of data, export your documents regularly. Future version of DAGraph will be able to connect directly to version control system.

Archive

.dagraph files are actually zip bundles that contain:

• sql scripts (one file per node)
• graph description
• data files (optional)

It’s possible to see inside .dagraph files: on some systems, you just need to rename the file (e.g. foo.dagraph to foo.zip, or foo.dagraph.zip) and then unzip the archive.

The format is evolving, but the principle will remain the same.

Flat file

This format is deprecated and should not be used.
