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)

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

In a project
Click Assets > New asset > 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
