Welcome to the forum @HoangTai

What do you mean by 'flow id'?

Since you are a beginner I recommend watching this playlist: [Node-RED Essentials](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyNBB9VCLmo1hyO-4fIZ08gqFcXBkHy-6). The videos are done by the developers of node-red. They're nice & short and to the point. You will understand a whole lot in about 1 hour. A small investment for a lot of gain.

Can you explain why you want to do that? It seems an unusual thing to do.

Which database are you using? There are nodes for most databases. You can find them if you search [flows.nodered.org](http://flows.nodered.org).
