Connections
Adding a connection: a URL or the fields
The connection URL is a shortcut that fills the fields for you. Paste one, or type the fields by hand — you only need one, not both.
When you add a database you will see a Connection URL box above the host / port / database fields. It is an optional shortcut, not an extra step: use the URL or the fields, not both.
Paste a URL
Drop a full connection string — like postgres://user:pass@host:5432/dbname — into the box and click Fill fields. AddisDB splits it into host, port, database, username and password so you can review each part before saving.
Or fill the fields yourself
Prefer to type them in? Leave the URL blank and fill host, port and the rest by hand. Either path produces the same connection.
The parts a URL does not cover
A couple of fields are always yours to set. The Display name is what the connection is called in the sidebar. The Environment tag is a safety label — marking a connection prod color-codes it and adds an extra confirmation before risky writes.
