Confirmed - the CE cloud database looks almost identical to that of a regular Appian Cloud instance, other than coming with several pre-populated tables.

I haven't had a chance to try Community Edition yet, but I don't think you will be able to create a new database given my understanding of how Appian is managing those instances.

Thanks Eric G. I spent an hour trying to figure out how to create a new database other than 'Appian' so that as I create new tables in the Community Edition, I would not be seeing all of the demo tables. I am taking you to mean that I do NOT have the ability to create a new database in the Appian Cloud (which is fine). I just want to clarify as I read the document you provided the link for and did not see that explicity stated. Thanks Again!! Paul

We've been able to do this by modifying the XSD of the data type to include the schema of the table name by using the following annotation:
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:appinfo source="appian.jpa">
@Table(name="<table_name_goes_here>", schema="<schema_name_goes_here>")
</xsd:appinfo>
</xsd:annotation>

To elaborate on the previous responses, when utilizing the Appian Cloud provided MySQL instance the only option is the Appian schema that is provided as a part of the PaaS. If you wish to configure additional schemas or make other administrative configurations to your database the best option is to configure a separate database outside of Appian Cloud and connect to it over a VPN tunnel.

The Appian Cloud FAQs touches on this at a high level: docs.appian.com/.../Appian_Cloud_Web_Administration.html

Hi ejass,

1) You can create separate schema for your application, But you need to configure in the admin console under data source management setting. you have to provide your schema name and test connection.

2) In data store , select the schema which you have configured in admin console, so you can publish your views and tables under schema name which you have created.

Hi,

If you are in Appian cloud it is not possible.
