Re 3.) SeaTable cannot link bases directly, but we have a feature which should meet your requirements: Common Datasets (CDS). We’ll say more about it by the end of the year. We are working on a new backend that will allow you to store a seven digit number of rows in your base. Same reason as with Airtable: A base must be loaded into memory in its entirety and very big bases degrade server performance. Re 2.) Currently, SeaTable has a record limit of 100.000. (More on DTABLE files here.) Logically, you can also push data into SeaTable by means of our API - which is 100 times better than Airtable’s. DTABLE is not a proprietary format, it’s just a container for a JSON file and file attachments. What does SeaTable offer? You can import XLSX and CSV as well as SeaTable’s DTABLE files. We have looked into using Airtable’s API to export data into a format that we can then import into SeaTable, but Airtable’s API is not exactly great. And, of course, a lot of meta information is lost when exporting the rich data into CSV. The only simple export option offered by AirTable, that we are aware of, is a CSV export. Re 1.) Unfortunately, it’s really hard to migrate away from Airtable. I am partner at SeaTable GmbH and I hope I can answer your questions in a satisfactory manner. Glad you found us and welcome to the SeaTable Forum. Any outlines you could give on CPU power and Memory needed? What are the performance needs on the serverside.One of the longest requested features on airtable and one we miss hardly is the option to link between bases, not only between tables.How are the limitations with SeaTable on that end. How about the limitation of table size? Airtable hard limits everything but enterprise customers to 50.000 rows which is mainly due to performance reasons on the browser as they tell us.Is there any smart way to move data over from airtable? We mainly use 3 tables within 1 base with several links between the tables.Here’s a few questions before I try it out: We were already looking to do something completely custom but first I wanna give SeaTable a chance. We’ve always lived with the limitations but were never happy with that. We’re currently using Airtable as a CRM/Marketing backend and we pay for Airtable for around 5 years already. I just recently stepped across SeaTable and I’m very happy to have an alternative to Airtable and even have the option to run it myself. ![]()
