FQL v4 will be decommissioned on June 30, 2025. Ensure that you complete your migration from FQL v4 to FQL v10 by that date.

Fauna accounts created after August 21, 2024 must use FQL v10. These accounts will not be able to run FQL v4 queries or access the v4 Dashboard.

For more details, see the v4 EOL announcement and migration guide. Contact support@fauna.com with any questions.

Discussion

Documents are conceptually equivalent to records in SQL databases. The major differences are:

  • Documents have no specific schema. The structure of one document can be completely distinct from any other document.

  • There is built-in constraint mechanism available to enforce a particular structure on any field of a document.

  • Null values are not stored.

  • Documents are stored as immutable events: document modifications are stored as separate events, including deletions. This feature allows you to perform point-in-time queries.
