locationId

string

The location of the database. Available databases are listed at https://cloud.google.com/firestore/docs/locations.

keyPrefix

string

Output only. The keyPrefix for this database. This keyPrefix is used, in combination with the project id ("~") to construct the application id that is returned from the Cloud Datastore APIs in Google App Engine first generation runtimes.

This value may be empty in which case the appid to use for URL-encoded keys is the project_id (eg: foo instead of v~foo).
etag

string

This checksum is computed by the server based on the value of other fields, and may be sent on update and delete requests to ensure the client has an up-to-date value before proceeding.

DatabaseType

Mode changes are only allowed if the database is empty.
