Do I need to install the psql client on my local machine to connect to RisingWave cloud database?

Jia Yu tried the RisingWave cloud offering but couldn't connect to the tenant. The UI prompted to run a psql command. Does this require installing the psql client locally?

  • Yes, you need to install the psql client on your local machine to connect to the RisingWave cloud database.
  • The command psql "<postgresql://username>:password@hostname" is used to connect to the database. Make sure to replace username, password, and hostname with your actual credentials.
  • If you encounter SSL connection issues, you may need to configure SSL settings or remove sslmode=require from the connection string, but this may compromise security.
