Before jumping in Xojo Cloud I have a question

Can I access to the PostgreSQL host on Xojo Cloud with Postgres App from my Mac ?

Happy new year!

I don’t use cloud, but remembered I read this long time ago 🙂

Perharps helps you, it’s a bit old, but supposedly to be supported now

> You need to open it in Xojo Cloud. See [FirewallPort](http://documentation.xojo.com/index.php/FirewallPort) in the docs. You open it in your program and it is only open while your app is running.

Hello Sebastian!

I use Valentina Studio. It has worked perfectly for me.

This tool connects directly to the PostgreSQL server to create tables, review, and process queries.
