# Cloud Firestore Database and Operations

Before setting up dependencies, writing data models, or configuring security
rules, you MUST always identify the Firestore instance edition.

## 1. Instance Selection and Edition Detection

Run the following command to list current Firestore databases: `bash npx -y
firebase-tools@latest firestore:databases:list`

### A. Instance Found

1.  For each database found, inspect its edition and details: `bash npx -y
    firebase-tools@latest firestore:databases:get <database-id>`
2.  Ask the user which database instance they wish to target or if they would
    prefer to create a new instance.
3.  Once the target instance is established:
    -   If the **`edition`** is `STANDARD`, follow the guides under
        `references/standard/`.
    -   If the **`edition`** is `ENTERPRISE` or native mode, follow the guides
        under `references/enterprise/`.

### B. No Instance Found (or New Requested)

If no databases exist or the user requests a new one, default to provisioning an **Enterprise** edition database
and ask the user what location to use.
Run `npx -y firebase-tools@latest firestore:locations` to get the list of options.
Suggest colocating with other resources if applicable.

Once the location is determined, create the database:
`bash npx -y firebase-tools@latest firestore:databases:create <database-id> --edition="enterprise" --location="<selected-location>"`

Proceed with using the guides under `references/enterprise/`.

## 2. Specialized Guides

corresponding reference guides:
