Connect your first database

Before you start

Download the package for your operating system from the Download page. macOS and Linux downloads follow the available release assets. Windows is coming soon.

For a remote database, have its host, port, database name and credentials ready. For SQLite or DuckDB, choose a local database file instead.

Make a connection

1. Open Meja and start a new connection. Choose the database engine that matches your server or file.
2. Enter your connection details. Configure SSH or TLS if your database requires them.
3. Test the connection before saving it. If the test fails, check the error and connection details.
4. Save the connection, then open it from the sidebar. Browse the available schemas and tables.

Run your first SQL query

For a SQL database, open a query tab on your connection and run the statement below. The result should contain one row with the value 1.

SELECT 1;
