PostgreSQL

Connect to PostgreSQL databases, inspect schemas, and run queries from Athas.

Updated

On this page

PostgreSQL support is available through the PostgreSQL database provider.

Connect to PostgreSQL

Install the PostgreSQL provider from Integrations, then use Database: Connect to Database from the command palette or create a saved connection in Settings > Database.

The default PostgreSQL port is 5432.

What You Can Do

  • Browse schemas, tables, and views
  • Inspect columns, indexes, and foreign keys where available
  • Filter and search table data
  • Run SQL queries
  • Edit rows and cells where supported
  • Copy or export result data when available

Notes

PostgreSQL connections are saved connections. They are managed from Settings > Database rather than opened from local files.

First query

Start with a read query to confirm the connection and inspect the database:

sql
SELECT current_database(), current_user;

Troubleshooting

Check host, port, database name, user and server SSL requirements. Use a read-only account for inspection.

See Database viewer for shared connection and editing behavior.
