Xata Feature Requests

Branch overview

n8n

Would be great if there was a feature that lets you create a child branch using only the schema (with empty data), right now there seems to only be the option to create a copy of the entire db. You could also add an option to create child branches with anonymized data, but most important is being able to create child branches with no data, only the schema so we can test without any user data.

any 1-click migration option? i had serveral databases there and cant bother to migrate manually

My team cuts branches from our production clone to test features. Since there isn't branch resetting, we end up having to cut new branches and point our local DBs to new host names every time we want the latest copy of the data. It would instead be nice to just be able to reset branches to production, maintaining the same connection string.

It would be really useful to have an ohmyzsh plugin render whenever I am in a Xata context, telling me the name of the Xata branch I am pointing. A similar thing exists for git branches.

In our team, we would enjoy that queries would be shared (by default) instead of being personal. This would allow us to keep queries where they belong: close to our database, instead of having to either commit them to code or keep them in external docs somewhere.

In xata console I see this error on branch. I need restart instance for resolve error. Why?

Currently, xata branch create in the CLI tool by default sets the active branch as the parent, and you can specify a different parent using the --parent-branch parameter. I would rather always pick the parent branch interactively from a list.
