Adding a Database Connection in Schema

To connect a new database in Schema, you need to provide specific connection details that allow Schema to establish a secure link to your database instance.

Required Fields:

• Host: The hostname or IP address of your database server.
• Port: The port number on which your database is listening (default ports vary by database type).
• Database Name: The specific database you want to connect to within the server.
• Username: Your database user account name.
• Password: The password associated with your database user account.

Schema supports PostgreSQL and MySQL database types and will automatically determine the type of database you are connecting to.

You may test your connection prior to saving to ensure you've entered the correct details. If your database provider offers a one-line URI, you can paste that using the blue paste button at the right edge of the Host field.

Testing your connection will also provide you with details about why your connection has failed. We do our best to pass this along to you.

Security and Privacy:

All credentials you enter are stored securely on your device using local encrypted storage. Schema never sends your credentials to external servers. Connections to your database are established directly from your device using encrypted SSL/TLS protocols to ensure data privacy and security.
