I want to see everyone’s bookmarks. So I try this simple query in Data Explorer. SELECT * from bookmarks That returns no results. I added a bookmark of my own and ran it again. Still no results. Where are bookmarks stored, if not in the bookmarks table?

[image] Mark_Schmucker: I try this simple query in Data Explorer. SELECT * from bookmarks The bookmarks table doesn’t seem to be getting used yet. It is part of some improvements that are being made to Discourse’s bookmarking functionality. Currenty, you can get information about bookmarks with a query like this: SELECT t.user_id, t.id AS topic_id, COUNT(*) AS bookmark_count FROM post_actions pa JOIN posts p ON p.id = pa.post_id JOIN topics t ON t.id = p.topic_id WHERE pa.post_action_type_id = 1 AND t.deleted_at IS NULL AND p.deleted_at IS NULL GROUP BY t.id, t.user_id ORDER BY bookmark_count DESC LIMIT 20

Try running SELECT COUNT(id) FROM bookmarks

Sorry, I’m at a loss for what the problem might be. That makes no sense to me at all. I would think you would get some kind of error message or at least the 1 you know exists.

In what table are bookmarks stored, if not “bookmarks”?

One of my bookmarks. I’m sure others have bookmarks also:
