> [@Ja\_ke](#): > > I have a schema laid out and would like to mass create all of my tables for an app instead of manually doing it. It doesn’t matter what the format of your data schema is, whether text or a diagram, as of now it is still a manual process in “current Glide” to get from the data schema to the database being set up with tables, columns and relations created. This is expected to change in a few weeks or months, a “New Glide” was announced a few hours ago. On the one hand, creating the database by hand can feel like wasted time. On the other, it gives us control and perhaps a better understanding of the setup. A poor experience in my opinion is if you upload a data schema or vibecode something and you as the developer have no oversight or control over the database, this is a fine recipe to deliver spaghetti apps (a castle that looks like Versailles built out of chopsticks). An nice experience, and maybe this is what we will see in “New Glide”, is a process that leverages AI, that allows us builders to go faster, all the while having oversight and control. > [@Introducing a new Glide, built for the AI age](https://community.glideapps.com/t/introducing-a-new-glide-built-for-the-ai-age/86567): > > The [waitlist](https://glideapps.com/new) is open to try an entirely new Glide experience. Hey community! I know I don’t post here very often. I usually let @andymci take the wheel on that front, but I was so excited about this announcement, I asked if I could share it myself joy[[Introducing The New Glide | Join the Waitlist] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dPAep03oXY) This week, we announced the new Glide.
