Connect to a CockroachDB Cluster

On this page Carat arrow pointing down
Warning:
CockroachDB v21.2 is no longer supported as of May 16, 2023. For more details, refer to the Release Support Policy.

This page documents the required connection configuration for fully-supported third-party tools.

For a list of all supported cluster connection parameters, see the cockroach Connection Parameters.

For a list of community-supported third-party tools, see Third-Party Tools Supported by the Community. CockroachDB supports both native drivers and the PostgreSQL wire protocol. Most client drivers and ORM frameworks connect to CockroachDB like they connect to PostgreSQL.

Note:

The connection information shown on this page uses client certificate and key authentication to connect to a secure, CockroachDB Self-Hosted cluster.

To connect to a CockroachDB Self-Hosted cluster with client certificate and key authentication, you must first generate server and client certificates.

For instructions on starting a secure cluster, see Start a Local Cluster (Secure).

To connect to CockroachDB with node-postgres, create a new Client object with a connection string.

For example:

icon/buttons/copy

const { Client } = require('pg')

const client = new Client(process.env.DATABASE_URL)

client.connect()

Where DATABASE_URL is an environment variable set to a valid CockroachDB connection string.
