Connections

PostgreSQL

Set up a PostgreSQL connection in the workspace for the database actions to use.

PostgreSQL

Connects a PostgreSQL database to the workspace. The PostgreSQL database actions in your robots use this connection.

Fields

Connection string

Enter the full connection string for the PostgreSQL database. It follows this shape:

postgresql://user:password@host:port/database

Example:

postgresql://admin:mypassword@192.168.0.1:5432/production
PartWhat it is
userThe database user's name
passwordThat user's password
hostThe server's IP address or name
portThe connection port (default: 5432)
databaseThe database's name
tip

The connection string usually comes from the database administrator, or from the PostgreSQL server's own settings.

Using it in the Designer

For a robot to use this connection, add the PostgreSQL - Connection action to the flow. In the action's settings, pick the connection saved in the workspace. Later PostgreSQL actions (query, insert, update and the rest) use it automatically.
