Here, you can create one or multiple database connections to already existing relational databases. The supported database types are MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MariaDB and Microsoft SQL.
See Internal PostgreSQL for a list of available functions after the connection has been established and a deeper explanation of relational databases.
With the create function, you can create an instance for each new database you want to connect to. To do so, insert a name in the first field and fill the following information in the second field:
dialect
String
The dialect of the database you are connecting to. One of mysql, postgres, sqlite, db2, mariadb and mssql.
database
String
The name of the database.
username
String
The username which is used to authenticate against the database.
password
String
The password for the corresponding user.
host
String
The host of the database. Can be either a URL or an IP address.
port
String
(optional) The port of the database. If not defined, the standard port (5432) is tried.
ssl
String
(default: true) A flag that defines if the connection should encrypted with ssl or not.
After creating the instance, use the function isConnected to test the database connection.
After successfully creating a connection to a database, you can use all the functions listed in internal PostgreSQL.
Simply drag the delete function onto the board and insert the name of the instance, whose connection you want to delete.
