Data sources and data tables

Data is uploaded into DataLion via the project backend into data sources.
As soon as a data source is filled with data, a corresponding data table is created in the database.

The data table is given the same name as the data source.

When a data source is renamed, the associated data table is renamed as well.

Renaming a data table in the database, however, does not rename the corresponding data source (changes made directly in the database are only possible through DataLion; i.e. this case is usually not relevant for users).

The data in an existing data table (which is not, however, available as a data source) can be displayed by the user by creating a new data source and entering the name (or suffix) of the data table. The data source then has access to the associated data table.
This functionality can be relevant in connection with the zero-downtime update (restoring old data).
