Add a data source in GlareDB Cloud

The main page displays all of your deployments with a summary count of each data source. To add a new data source, click the + button.

You can also add a data source from the SQL workspace page by clicking + Connect data source in the navigation bar at the top of the page.

A new dialog will pop up showing all supported data sources.

After selecting one of the supported data source types, you will see a form:

Submitting this form will:

• validate that a connection can be made with the data source
• if valid, save this data source as a database in your GlareDB deployment

The exact SQL being run and its output (including errors) are displayed.

If you prefer to use SQL for adding data sources, see the following SQL reference:
