Query Database
The Query Database step allows you to run a query on a database. You can use variables in the query, meaning any part of your query can be dynamically adjusted.
We recommend being mindful of security considerations. While we encrypt your connection string and provide the option to enforce a read-only connection, exercise caution when running AI-generated or user-generated queries directly.
Options
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Connection String | Plain Text | The JDBC connection string to use to connect to the database. Must follow the format: postgres://user:[email protected]:5432/database |
| Query | Code | The query you want to run on the database. |
Outputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Result | Object | The response from the query in JSON format. |
Tips
- If you’re having trouble connecting to your database, double check that the connection string is correct by trying in another tool such as a database viewer (eg. DBeaver).
- If your database is behind a VPC or a service such as Bastion, reach out to the Respell team for information on how to connect to your database.
- We don’t enforce a timeout, so be mindful of long-running queries that may degrade performance.
- If you’d like us to support other database types, reach out to the Respell team.
