EdgeDB

Databases DSN or connection details

Query an EdgeDB instance from any Windmill script, flow or app.

Set up in 3 steps

Either a DSN, or the host, port, database, user and password separately. A cloud instance uses its instance name and a secret key instead.

Open Resources, add a resource of type edgedb, and fill it in.

Fork any script below and read before writing anything.

Building blocks, if none of the projects above fit. Fork one, run it, or call it as a step inside your own flow.

edgedb — the shape of the credential every script on this page expects.

DSN or separate fields?

Either. Fill the DSN alone, or the host, port, user, password and database — not both, since the DSN wins.

Is my credential stored on the hub?

Never. It lives only in your own Windmill workspace, encrypted at rest.
