Abstract: A collaboration database service may allow users to create, edit, and share collaborative content on custom databases, and may also integrate and interoperate with various productivity applications. For example, a collaboration database engine of the service may detect creation or modification of a table through an application associated with the service. In response to a request to add a choice type column to the table, the engine may automatically select, provide, and enable modification of a set of symbols and associated text values corresponding to choices. The engine may then provide the choice type column for display within the table such that each cell of the choice type column is automatically and/or manually populated with at least one of the choices. The choice may be represented by a symbol and/or associated text value from the modified set of symbols and associated text values corresponding to the choice.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing a two-tier failover service. A request to access content by an application associated with an application identifier may be identified. A first record corresponding to the application identifier may be retrieved from a database information table. The first record may include a reference identifier, a database name of a database, and a failover value. A second record corresponding to the reference identifier may be retrieved from a server information table. The second record may include an indication of a first server computer as a primary server computer and an indication of a second server computer as a secondary server computer. A connection specification to either the first server computer or the second server computer may be generated based on the first record and the second record.
