> Learn how to find your SQL database connection details and grant Equals access from our IP address

# SQL Database Overview

To connect to a SQL database within Equals, you'll first need to find your connection details and then grant access to your hosting provider from our IP address.

## Finding connection details

To find the connection details for your SQL database, follow the specific setup guide for your hosting provider:

**Datasources:** [Supabase](https://docs.equals.com/docs/supabase) [AWS RDS](https://docs.equals.com/docs/aws-rds), [Azure](https://docs.equals.com/docs/azure-sql-server), [BigQuery](https://docs.equals.com/docs/bigquery-connection-guide), [DigitalOcean](https://docs.equals.com/docs/digitalocean), [Railway](https://docs.equals.com/docs/railway), [AWS Redshift](https://docs.equals.com/docs/aws-redshift), [PlanetScale](https://docs.equals.com/docs/planetscale), [Snowflake](https://docs.equals.com/docs/snowflake),

If your hosting provider is not listed above, below is an explainer of each field.

| Field name           | Description                                                                         |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Connection name      | This is what your datasource will be listed as throughout Equals.                   |
| Share with workspace | Give access to this datasource to all current and future members of your workspace. |
| Host                 | An IP address or hostname by which we can connect to your database.                 |
| Port                 | The port your database server is listening on.                                      |
| Database name        | The name of the database we should connect to on the provided host.                 |
| Username             | The username to connect with.                                                       |
| Password             | The password to connect with.                                                       |
| Default schema       | (Postgres only, optional) Set the default schema for the connection.                |
| SSH Tunnel           | Optionally you can connect through an SSH tunnel.                                   |
| SSH Username         | The username to connect as on the host.                                             |
| SSH Private Key      | The SSH Private Key we should connect with.                                         |

## Allowing access from our IP

When connecting to SQL databases (except for BigQuery) we will always connect from the IP address `54.68.61.53`. Some providers and set ups likely require granting access on a per-IP basis. Use the following guides to learn how:

**Datasources:** [AWS RDS](https://docs.equals.com/docs/aws-rds), [Azure](https://docs.equals.com/docs/azure-sql-server), [DigitalOcean](https://docs.equals.com/docs/digitalocean), [AWS Redshift](https://docs.equals.com/docs/aws-redshift), [Snowflake](https://docs.equals.com/docs/snowflake)

If your provider is not listed above follow your hosting provider's instructions for allowing connections from `54.68.61.53`.

For MySQL, Postgres, and Redshift connections you may also connect through an SSH tunnel.
