Connect to Database

Connect TalkingSchema directly to your cloud database to import your live schema.

Supported providers​

  • Supabase — Provide your Supabase project URL and anon key
  • Neon — Provide your Neon connection string

Steps​

  1. Click Import in the top toolbar
  2. Select Connect to database
  3. Choose your provider (Supabase or Neon)
  4. Enter your connection details
  5. Click Connect
  6. TalkingSchema fetches your schema and populates the ERD

What gets imported​

  • All tables and their columns
  • Primary key constraints
  • Foreign key relationships
  • Unique and NOT NULL constraints
  • Enum types (PostgreSQL)

Security​

Your connection credentials are used only for the schema fetch and are not stored permanently. TalkingSchema reads schema metadata only — no row data is accessed.

After connecting​

Your live schema appears in the ERD. From here you can:

  • Visualize your existing database structure
  • Use AI to suggest improvements
  • Export in a different SQL dialect
  • Share a public link to your ERD
