#### I’m testing other REST APIs using Postman, and during my test I’d like to access a database. Xmysql gives me that access with a quick setup command: `xmysql -h ${hostname} -u ${user} -p ${pass} -d ${db}`

#### I would like to move to nocodb as it seems to be the next version of xmysql. Certainly there is a rich set of REST APIs. It might be an easy feature to add to expose environment variables for the above external db. Is that at all on the radar for this project?

#### Unfortunately no ☹ Nocodb although has underlying APIs but it’s mostly UI focused (spreadsheet like)
