How to create database objects into JIRA Cloud

[Harinath T]

Hi Everyone

I want to crate my own tables into database of the JIRA cloud. Is there way where I can store my own data format into JIRA cloud. Can anyone please suggest me how I can store my own data by creating new tables into JIRA Cloud.

Thanks in Advance

Harinath T.

Your question is really vague. 

If I understand correctly, you're developing an app for Jira Cloud and you want to store and query data.

With Connect, you can use your own stack, including the DB that you manage. It can be anything, it is fully under your control.

But, I think, you should go with Forge. And if this is the case, then Forge offers its own Storage service!

Indeed, you have no access to the databases behind the Cloud services.  But when you're writing an app for Cloud, you should use Forge, as that allows you to build whatever data structures you want.

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- Thanks for your reply.

What I am trying to explore is, I have an eternal application from here I want to store the  data into JIRA cloud, and again the same data is required in my forge app which is deployed in JIRA cloud.

You can't access the Forge Storage from an external app.

What you can do is that your Forge app provides an API for the external world. This way the external app can "call" the Forge app and ask it to write the data to the Forge Storage. (The Forge app itself can access/query that data easily, of course.)

The problem is that implementing APIs with Forge apps cannot be done "natively". The regular workaround is implementing web triggers because those can be accessed by external apps.

Does that make sense?

Hi @Harinath T 

This is beyond our reach!! (If you are talking about Jira Data)

If you are talking about your custom data, there is a plugin called Elements Connect which enables you to store the data from other sources in Jira

Explore this and let me know f you have queries

Thanks @Pramodh M for your reply.

Using Elements Connect can I write database queries in forge apps or Atlassian Connect Apps.

I am developing my own market apps place and in that process I wanted to write database queries to get the data.

Thanks

Sorry I thought you wanted to store the data in Jira so I suggested Elements Connect

For Forge Apps, follow the APIs available

Other than that database is not accessible
