Postgres

For Postgres outside Supabase, Neon and PlanetScale, choose Other Postgres. Rowsend’s setup SQL creates a view and a read-only login, the same way as on Supabase.

If the host you paste is a known platform, Rowsend applies that platform’s rules anyway.

1. Paste a connection string

Use a login that can create roles, such as the database owner. In Rowsend, open Contacts, click Connect a database, choose Other Postgres, paste the connection string and click Continue.

Rowsend uses this login once, to list your tables. It doesn’t save the password.

2. Choose what Rowsend reads

Pick a table and its email and last-changed columns, join a second table if you like, and tick any extra columns. The select must return id, email and updated_at. See How syncing works.

3. Run the setup SQL

Click Copy SQL and run it in your database as the same login. It:

• creates a rowsend schema with a contacts view
• creates rowsend_reader, a login whose sessions are read-only and which can only read that view

The SQL holds a hash of the password, not the password.

4. Test and connect

Click Test and connect. Rowsend connects as rowsend_reader and syncs.

Your database has to accept connections from your computer. On a cloud host, allow your IP address if it limits who can connect.
