## Establishing a Connection
|
|
|
|
To establish a connection with the PostgreSQL data source, you can either click on the **+ Add new Data source** button located on the query panel or navigate to the **[Data Sources](/docs/data-sources/overview)** page from the ToolJet dashboard and choose PostgreSQL as the data source.
|
|
|
|
ToolJet requires the following information to connect to your PostgreSQL database:
|
|
|
|
- **Host**
|
|
- **Port**
|
|
- **SSL**
|
|
- **Database Name**
|
|
- **Username**
|
|
- **Password**
|
|
- **Connection Options**
|
|
- **SSL Certificate**
|
|
|
|
**Note:** We recommend creating a new PostgreSQL database user to have control over ToolJet's access levels.
|
|
|
|
:::info
|
|
Please make sure the **Host/IP** of the database is accessible from your VPC if you have self-hosted ToolJet. If you are using ToolJet cloud, please **whitelist** our IP.
