How NocoDB works
NocoDB organises information into bases, tables, fields, relationships, and records. Teams can create data inside the application or connect supported external databases, then work through spreadsheet-style grids and alternative views such as forms, galleries, kanban boards, calendars, timelines, lists, and maps where available. Each view keeps its own filters, sorting, and field visibility.
Collaboration features allow administrators to invite users and assign permissions at workspace, base, table, or field level. Public links and embeds can expose selected views, while APIs support permitted integrations. A no-code interface still depends on sound data modelling, access design, validation, and careful handling of external database credentials.
Key NocoDB features
NocoDB is useful when business users need a familiar way to edit structured data. Multiple view types, forms, attachments, relationships, formulas, sharing, roles, and APIs can replace small internal spreadsheets or ad hoc CRUD tools. Complex workflows may still require external services or custom logic.
The catalogue deploys only the NocoDB application and records PostgreSQL and MariaDB as Not required. It does not provide a target business database. Connecting an existing PostgreSQL or MySQL system requires a reachable customer-supplied service and credentials. Application email is disabled, so email invitations and recovery flows are unavailable.
NocoDB vs Airtable
NocoDB provides a self-hosted spreadsheet-style interface and API layer for data created in the app or connected from supported databases. Airtable is a provider-managed platform combining hosted relational data, views, interfaces, forms, automations, integrations, reporting, portals, and governance within a commercial account.
Airtable may suit organisations that want a maintained cloud platform, native automations, commercial support, and centrally managed integrations. NocoDB is more attractive when teams prioritise self-hosting, direct database connections, and control of the application, while accepting responsibility for data sources, credentials, upgrades, and workflow design.
Who uses NocoDB
Operations teams track requests and assets, product groups maintain roadmaps or research tables, and support teams organise structured customer information. Developers use NocoDB to place a collaborative interface and API over existing data without writing every administrative screen from the beginning.
It is not a substitute for database backups, schema governance, row-level security review, regulatory controls, or application-specific business logic. Public shares and powerful user roles should be tested with non-sensitive data before wider adoption.
Self-hosting NocoDB: requirements and cost
NocoDB demand grows with record count, fields, relationships, views, filters, formulas, attachments, API traffic, simultaneous editors, public shares, and queries to connected databases. The catalogue lists PostgreSQL and MariaDB as Not required for the application template, but external databases may still be connected separately and remain outside the hosted package.
On AvaHost, NocoDB uses Plan 1 at €2. The hosted NocoDB package includes one-click deployment, a custom domain with automated HTTPS, automatic application updates, and scheduled backups. No external business database, database credentials, automation provider, identity service, or email delivery is included. Application email is disabled. Use least-privilege database accounts, review public links and field permissions, and maintain independent backups for every connected data source.
F.A.Q
NocoDB starts at €2 on Plan 1. The entry plan suits a small base with modest records, views, and users. Record count, relationships, formulas, attachments, API traffic, concurrent editors, public views, and queries against connected databases determine when a larger plan may be more appropriate.
The NocoDB template does not include a target business database, and the catalogue marks a separate relational service as Not required. You may connect a supported reachable database using your own credentials. That database remains independently administered, secured, backed up, and sized; use a least-privilege account rather than an unrestricted production credential.
NocoDB can run on a custom domain with automated HTTPS. Application email is disabled on AvaHost, so email invitations, password resets, and other mail-dependent workflows are unavailable. Administrators should create and manage users directly, retain a working administrator account, and review public links and role permissions before exposing business records.
AvaHost applies NocoDB updates automatically and includes scheduled backups for persistent application data. After a major release, verify sign-in, bases, tables, relationships, views, formulas, attachments, permissions, public links, APIs, and every connected database. Back up external data sources independently and test schema changes before allowing broad editing.
