=== Changing the store format of existing databases

Starting from 5.23, `block` format is the preferred format for Enterprise Edition due to its superior performance and scalability.
Therefore, migrating all databases to `block` format is recommended to ensure optimal performance.
Starting from 5.23, `block` format is the recommended format for Enterprise Edition due to its superior performance and scalability.
It uses advanced data structures and inlining techniques to enhance data locality, which leads to better resource utilization.
Therefore, it is highly recommended that Enterprise Edition users migrate all databases to `block` format at their earliest convenience to ensure the best possible performance.
`block` format is the default format for new databases created in 5.23 and later, and is the default format for all databases in 5.26 and later.

From 5.25 onwards, the `block` format supports token names (including node labels, property keys, and relationship type names) of any length up to the GQL identifier max length of 16,383 characters.
Thus, token names must adhere to this length limit when migrating from `aligned` to `block` format.

`standard` and `high_limit` formats are deprecated in 5.23 and will be removed in a future release.
For more information, see <<format-deprecations, Format deprecations>>.
