Hydra Postgres is 100% Postgres compatible and uses standard Postgres drivers to connect. To connect to Hydra from your application, you’ll need to follow these general steps:

  1. Install a Postgres driver or ORM for your programming language
  2. Set up connection parameters (host, port, database name, username, password)
  3. Establish a connection to the database
  4. Execute queries and handle results

​
Get Started

Hydra offers a variety of connection strings and snippets to help you get started from the “Credentials” panel on the “Dashboard” page of your project:

Select the most appropriate snippet for your application.

Security Considerations

  • Make sure your password is kept safe and never revealed to client-side applications.
  • For greater security, we highly recommend creating a user for each application with its own password and restricted access. For details, see CREATE ROLE in the Postgres docs.
