PostgreSQL

UI Bakery allows you to easily connect to a PostgreSQL database with no need for additional layers like APIs or third-party services.

Configuration

Prerequisites

If your database is hosted behind a Firewall, you need to add our IP addresses to the Firewall whitelist.

Connecting the data source

1. On the Data sources page, click Connect, and select PostgreSQL in the Data sources list.

2. Specify all the required credentials.

If you're connecting via bit.io, make sure to specify your repository name in the Schemas name field. Click Add to save it, otherwise you'll get an error.

1. Click Test connection to check whether the data source can be connected, and then click Connect Datasource to complete the setup.

UI Bakery will extract the database structure and store column types. This data will be used to suggest proper table columns and form field types.

If you need to be able to override the default data source database with a custom value in an action, you can enable the Allow override database name in action setting.

Once enabled, when configuring the action, you will be able to specify a custom database. In case a database is not specified, the default data source database will be used.

Usage

Once you have established the connection between UI Bakery and PostgreSQL, you can access its data - load it and send it back.

The following Action types are supported with PostgreSQL:

• Load Table
• Load Row
• Create Row
• Bulk Create Rows
• Update Row
• Delete Row
• Bulk Delete Rows
• SQL Query
