The YouTube video you watched is outdated - we've switched over to a new approach for databases.

You can grab your connection string from your Postgres service, under the "Variables" tab:

  • Use DATABASE_URL for public connections (likely what you want if you're connecting locally)

  • Use DATABASE_PRIVATE_URL for private connections within your Railway project

We're working on making the flow better soon, which will include a clearer way to grab your connection string/credentials similar to the "Connect" tab you saw :-)
