Connections

Introduction

A database connection is the foundation for every Server Connect action that reads or writes data. In this tour, you will look at the connection setup details Wappler needs, understand how driver and credentials affect the target database, and see why this step comes before every query, insert, update, or delete workflow.

Create per target (Dev/Prod)

Reuse in Query/Insert/Update/Delete

Database Connections

Before you can query or modify data, configure a Database Connection for your project target(s). This stores credentials and makes the connection reusable in Server Actions.
