Did you resolve this Cloud db missing error ? if yes, can u please share how
Are you using Beta version ??
Harshit Bumb (Appyzie) said: Community Edition Beta doesn't give you access to the cloud Db because of the reason that all the users are sharing the same instance and you cannot apply multi-tenancy security on the database. Hence, you will have to do all the manipulation from the front end only.
But this will be a very hectic task. What's the benefit of new version when we are unable to automate
For learning and easing maintenance....... this should be answered by April Schuppel
I am not sure what you mean. What is it that you cannot "automate"?
The CE's primary focus is supporting the Academy online training.
hi Stefan Helzle is there any other way so that i can use Cloud database in CE's environment so that we can practice better complex scenarios.
As of now the answer to your question is No. What would be these complex scenarios we are talking about which you want to perform in cloud database?
how to fetch data ? datastore we cannot create , we cannot create entity constant how to create view?
On the CE you use records.
but how can we populate or insert data into the table we created using Records?
Have you tried to write records using process models? What exactly you mean by insert? Or are you looking to insert any bulk data?

You should go through the documentation how to write data into DB in Appian .
Will it always be like this or it is just temporary ? Stefan Helzle Harshit Bumb (Appyzie) Konduru Chaitanya
also is there anyway to avail that functionality by upgrading env?
USe records and write records smart service from a process model. IN that way you will be able to create database objects and populate them with data in CE as Stefan said
It's in this way in CE... when you work with your own instance, you will be able to create your objects directly in DDBB
