N8n added native persistent storage with DataTables

Summary

Hey everyone We’re super excited to share that starting with v1.113 we’re rolling out data tables (beta) to all plans. Since the very beginning of n8n we’ve heard many of you mention the need for a proper table inside n8n to store data between workflow executions without needing to switch platforms or setting up credentials and now it’s finally here. With data tables you can: Save specific data from your workflow runs Keep data around between multiple executions Avoid duplicate runs by tracking execution status Store reusable prompts for different workflows Collect evaluation data for your AI workflows Do lookups, merges, enhancements… …and honestly, probably 100 other creative things we haven’t even thought of yet To make sure your instance stays performant, we’ve set a 50MB limit for everyone. If you’re self-hosting (and know what you’re doing), you can change that via the ENV variable N8N_DATA_TABLES_MAX_SIZE_BYTES Upgrade to 1.113, give data tables a spin, and let us know what you think! What’s missing? What would make it even more useful for you? We’re really curious to hear your ideas and thoughts! Read more about the data tables in the docs here. 37 Likes liam September 22, 2025, 4:01pm 2 7 Likes dszp September 22, 2025, 4:15pm 3 This is absolutely awesome to see, I can’t wait to use these! It’s probably been my number one frustration that saving even a small amount of data between executions for all sorts of purposes requires either integrating PostgreSQL and dealing with schemas, using a third party database or API like Supabase (as handy as they are), or using variables that are powerful but are somewhat clumsy to instantiate and track since they only work in Code nodes and only save data for production executions, making testing hard. Hoping data-tables makes a ton of these things easier! Probably won’t run the new version until it’s in final release rather than pre-release, but this is awesome to see! 4 Likes bartv September 22, 2025, 4:16pm 5 This is re...
