Connections

Manage all named database connections from a single panel. The engine auto-detects the database type from the URL protocol. Add, remove, and monitor connection health in real time.

Each connection creates a namespace — main.*, warehouse.*, etc. — that permissions and queries reference. Try adding a new connection above to see how the type detection works.

URL detection

The URL pattern determines which database adapter is used:

Connection lifecycle

1. Add — provide a name and URL. The engine detects the type and connects.
2. Health check — the dashboard polls each connection and shows live status.
3. Schema sync — on connect, the engine introspects the schema and exposes tables under the connection namespace.
4. Remove — disconnect and remove the namespace. Any permissions referencing this connection's tables are invalidated.

Multiple connections

You can connect to as many databases as you need. Each one gets its own namespace:

connections: {
  main: 'postgres://localhost:5432/mydb',         // main.orders, main.users
  warehouse: 'mysql://user:pass@host:3306/wh',    // warehouse.events, warehouse.reports
  local: './data/app.db',                          // local.settings
}
