NocoDB with Wordpress MySQL [Apr 30]

:raising_hand_man: wkw replied

one click heroku uses heroku-postgresql as a meta database

:raising_hand_man: wkw replied

“Heroku rotates credentials periodically and updates applications where this database is attached.”

:raising_hand_man: wkw replied

seems the meta database got changed

:raising_hand_man: wkw replied

can u help verify that?

> how to ensure a remote connection can be made to my MySQL. I set it to allow from ec-2-xxxxxxxxxxx.computer-1.amazonaws.com. That worked and I was able to try out Nocodb, connecting directly to the MySQL WP DB.

yesterday u set the host in Siteground. so this s the old value.

:raising_hand_man: wkw replied

if u go to heroku and select your project, click Resources > Heroku Postgres under Add-ons > Settings > View Credentials. then u ll see the current host

:raising_hand_man: wkw replied

compare both to prove if the meta connection string got changed

Yes… I just whitelisted today’s amazonaws host on Siteground and Nocodb successfully connects and shows the WP DB contents.

:raising_hand_man: robertandrews replied

Thanks. I’ve just gone in to this (although I didn’t see the Add-ons link)… under for postgresql-xxxx-xxxxx, it says 2 of 20 connections…

In Settings, Database Credentials… the ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.computer-1.amazonaws.com is different from either of the two I have now whitelisted on Siteground. So, this is a third.

have this seen such page?

:raising_hand_man: wkw replied

if u r using postgresql, then the credentials would be rotated by Heroku from time to time, which means you have to reset NC_DB once it got rotated.

:raising_hand_man: wkw replied

heroku one-click is designed more for people to experience NocoDB. if you wanna use NocoDB in a long term, i’d suggest to have your own DB as a meta DB.

:raising_hand_man: robertandrews replied

Yes, that page. I clicked Heroku Postgres.

I would class myself as this. Still, quite frustrating the hit the issue within a day.

You mean locally on my machine, or something on Heroku?

:raising_hand_man: wkw replied

any DB s fine as long as u can manage it.

:raising_hand_man: wkw replied

local one is fine if you just wanna experience for a short term

:raising_hand_man: wkw replied

but it s weird. if u r using one-click, then why there s no add-ons

:raising_hand_man: wkw replied

can u screenshot Resources page?
