Issue on create database from dump

[jordiyapz]

Path: /api-reference/databases/create

Goal: To create database from existing dump

I've uploaded the dump successfully, which is quite big (around ~600MB). I've got the dump_url, so I proceeded to create the database with the seed configuration:

{
  //...
  "seed": {
    "type": "dump",
    "name": "<prev-db-dump-name>",
    "url": "<dump_url>",
  }
}

At first it thrown error 500: Internal server error.

Then it said Bad Request 400:

{"code":"create_database_generic_error","error":"Namespace `b59830c4-10c4-4093-9bef-a34b20e8efbb` already exists"}

Hey @jordiyapz, apologies for the delay. For support, it's always best to use Discord.

@athoscouto did we recently resolve some issues with larger uploads? @jordiyapz more details about your database is always good, including account name/db name.

[jordiyapz]

Oh, okay. So my database was inside a group located in Singapore. My account is "yapdiesel". That failed database was erased by me since it was unusable

@jordiyapz since the database was erased, is this still an issue?

[jordiyapz]

Oh, yes, because for the future, the ability to upload existing database (even thought it is big) might be crucial for customer. This is a use case for someone who seek to host his existing Sqlite DB. I'm currently finding other workaround but I found it might be such a great feature to migrate by just simply upload existing DB and continue the journey.
