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.
