Import connections from other apps

You do not have to retype every connection. RowDex can scan for other database clients installed on your computer, or read a connection file you pick, and turn what it finds into RowDex connections.

Supported apps#

• DBeaver
• TablePlus
• DataGrip and other JetBrains IDEs
• MySQL Workbench
• Sequel Ace and Sequel Pro
• MongoDB Compass
• Azure Data Studio
• pgAdmin

   Review the list

   Each connection found is listed with the app it came from. Connections you already have in RowDex are marked as already saved, and ones that cannot be imported say why.

   Tick the ones you want and import them. A progress bar shows each connection as it is added.
