Overview

Connecting Supabase with a PostgreSQL client lets you work directly with your Supabase database using familiar SQL queries and database management tools. You start by obtaining vital connection details from your Supabase project settings, like the database URL, username, password, and port. After grabbing these credentials, it's time to configure your PostgreSQL client. This setup boosts efficient database management, debugging, and querying. It simplifies developing and maintaining Supabase applications.

How to connect Supabase with a PostgreSQL client?

Step 1: Retrieve Supabase Database Credentials

  1. Log in to the Supabase dashboard.
  2. Find the project you want to connect to.
  3. Head over to the "Settings" section.
  4. Click on the "Database" tab.
  5. Jot down the database credentials you see there, including:
  • Host
  • Port
  • Database name
  • Username
  • Password

Step 2: Install a PostgreSQL Client

  1. Pick a PostgreSQL client like pgAdmin, DBeaver, or any command-line tool you prefer.
  2. Download and install the client based on your operating system's requirements.

Step 3: Open the PostgreSQL Client

  1. Open up the PostgreSQL client you just installed.
  2. Look for the connection setup or creation interface. Most clients have something like "New Connection" or "Connect".

Step 4: Configure Connection Settings

  1. In the connection setup form, fill in the details you noted from Supabase:
  • Host: Enter the Host value from Supabase.
  • Port: Enter the Port value, usually it's 5432.
  • Database: Enter the Database name.
  • Username: Enter the Username.
  • Password: Enter the Password.
  1. Make sure SSL mode is enabled if needed. Supabase often requires SSL for a secure connection.

Step 5: Test the Connection

  1. Use the "Test Connection" feature if your PostgreSQL client has it to check if all credentials are correct.
  2. If there are any errors, troubleshoot and re-enter the details until the connection test is successful.

Step 6: Save and Connect

  1. Once the connection test is successful, save the connection setup.
  2. Click on "Connect" or "Finish".

Step 7: Access Supabase Database

  1. With the connection established, you can now browse through the database schemas, tables, and other entities.
  2. Perform any operations you need, like querying, updating records, or managing the database structure directly from the PostgreSQL client.
