Databases
Your databases, one workspace.
Start with a lightweight connection overview. Open the SQL workspace when you are ready to explore tables or write a query.
Product preview: workspace access opens at launch. Follow the launch.
Connect an existing database
- Open Databases and check the selected brand.
- Choose Connect database, then PostgreSQL or MySQL.
- Enter the host, port, database name, user, and password supplied by your provider.
- Test the connection. NodeHub verifies the TLS certificate and attempts to connect with those credentials.
- Review the details, then connect. The service tests again before saving a read-only connection.
Saving a connection does not create a hosted database or change your provider subscription.
Use advanced setup when needed
Choose Advanced connection setup to open the SQL workspace for other supported database types, custom certificates, or additional connection settings. Private network access requires a network path already available to the database service. A password alone does not establish that path.
Explore and return to the overview
Open workspace loads the SQL editor. The overview itself reads saved connection details without opening your external databases. Use the back button to return to the overview; your opened editor stays mounted while you remain on this page. Changing brand or leaving Databases closes that page, so save your work first.
Understand limits and errors
The usage column shows saved connections and the limits returned by the database service. These are session and query limits, not monthly billing counters. A saved connection does not prove the database is reachable now.
If a connection test fails, check the hostname, provider network rules, user permissions, and certificate. Use advanced setup if your provider requires a custom certificate. If saving times out, refresh the overview before retrying to avoid creating a duplicate.
