Direct Database Access
Learn how to directly access your Directus Cloud project's database.
Direct Database Access (Direct DB) is an exclusive feature for Enterprise-tier customers, providing the capability to connect directly to their databases for advanced querying and management.
Requesting Access
To enable Direct DB access, Enterprise customers need to submit a support ticket. Once the request is reviewed, the support team will provide the necessary connection details.
Connecting to Your Database
To connect, use a SQL tool of your choice —such as DBeaver— and configure the following connection settings:
- Host: The URI where the database service is hosted
- Port: The connection port
- User: The username with database access permissions
- Password: The associated password for the user
- Database Name: The name of the database you intend to access
The support team will provide each of these configurations in response to your Direct DB request.
