Future Behavior
This section describes the DDL commands pertaining to future.
Create future
Enable a particular future behavior for the current schema.
create future FutureBehavior ";"There’s a corresponding SDL declaration for enabling a future behavior, which is the recommended way of doing this.
Description
The command create future enables the specified future behavior for
the current branch.
Examples
Enable simpler non-recursive access policy behavior non-recursive access policy for the current schema:
create future nonrecursive_access_policies;drop future
Stop importing future behavior prior to the EdgeDB version in which it appears.
drop future FutureBehavior ";"Description
The command drop future disables a currently active future behavior for the
current branch. However, this is only possible
for versions of EdgeDB when the behavior in question is not officially
introduced. Once a particular behavior is introduced as the standard behavior
in an EdgeDB release, it cannot be disabled. Running this command will simply
denote that no special action is needed to enable it in this case.
Examples
Disable simpler non-recursive access policy behavior non-recursive access policy for the current schema. This will make access policy restrictions apply to the expressions defining other access policies:
drop future nonrecursive_access_policies;Once EdgeDB 3.0 is released there is no more need for enabling non-recursive access policy behavior anymore. So the above command will simply indicate that the database no longer does anything non-standard.
