Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect to a PostgreSQL database?

Tap the + button on the Connections screen and enter your server hostname, port (default 5432), database name, username, and password. You can optionally enable SSL for secure connections.

How do I connect through an SSH tunnel?

When creating a connection, enable "Use SSH Tunnel" and enter your SSH server details. This is useful for connecting to databases behind firewalls or on private networks. Tablewright supports password and key-based SSH authentication.

Why can't I connect to my database?

Common issues include: incorrect hostname or port, firewall blocking the connection, PostgreSQL not configured to accept remote connections (check pg_hba.conf), or incorrect credentials. Make sure your database server is accessible from your device's network.

Can I edit data in my database?

Yes! With Tablewright Pro, you can edit cells directly, insert new rows, and delete data. Go to Settings and set "Cell Click Behavior" to "Edit Cell" or "Edit Row". Use Read-Only mode when browsing production databases to prevent accidental changes.

Can I create tables and manage schemas?

Yes! With Tablewright Pro, you can create new tables, view and edit table schemas, and drop tables. Use the Schema tab to explore your database structure.

How do I run SQL queries?

Use the Console tab to write and execute SQL queries. The editor supports syntax highlighting and you can save frequently used queries as bookmarks.

How do I export data?

While viewing a table, tap the menu button and select "Export Table". You can export as CSV or JSON, and share via any app using the iOS share sheet.

Are my credentials secure?

Yes. All passwords and SSH keys are stored in the iOS Keychain, which is encrypted and protected by the operating system. Your credentials never leave your device.

Should I use SSL?

Yes, we strongly recommend enabling SSL for all connections, especially over public networks. This encrypts the data between your device and the database server.

The connection keeps dropping

This can happen due to network instability or server timeouts. Enable Auto-Reconnect in your connection settings. The app will automatically attempt to reconnect if the connection is lost.
