Getting connected takes about thirty seconds.
  1. Open FlexTable and press ⌘N (Ctrl+N on Windows/Linux) to create a new connection.
  2. Paste a connection string, or fill in host, port, user and database manually.
  3. Hit Test to verify, then Connect - your tables appear in the sidebar instantly.

​
Connection strings

FlexTable accepts standard connection strings, for example: 
postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/mydb
mysql://root:pass@127.0.0.1:3306/shop
mongodb://localhost:27017/analytics
Credentials are stored locally in your OS keychain - never uploaded.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Connection refused - check the host/port and that the server is running.
  • SSL required - enable SSL in the Advanced tab and point to your CA cert.
  • Timeout - for remote databases, confirm your IP is allow-listed.
