SingleStoreDB connection

To access your data in SingleStoreDB, create a connection asset for it.

SingleStoreDB is a fast, distributed, and highly scalable cloud-based SQL database. You can use SingleStoreDB to power real-time and data-intensive applications.

Create a connection to SingleStoreDB

To create the connection asset, you need these connection details:

Database (optional): If you do not enter a database name, you must enter the catalog name, schema name, and the table name in the properties for SQL queries.
Hostname or IP address
Port number
Username and password
SSL certificate (if required by the database server)

For Credentials and Certificates, you can use secrets if a vault is configured for the platform and the service supports vaults. For information, see Using secrets from vaults in connections.

Choose the method for creating a connection based on where you are in the platform

In a project: Click Assets > New asset > Prepare data > Connect to a data source. See Adding a connection to a project.
In a catalog: Click Add to catalog > Connection. See Adding a connection asset to a catalog.
In a deployment space: Click Import assets > Data access > Connection. See Adding data assets to a deployment space.
In the Platform assets catalog: Click New connection. See Adding platform connections.

Next step: Add data assets from the connection
