hello,

you're not missing PGHOST, you're missing PGUSER, PGPASSWORD, and PGDATABASE

Set these variables -

PGUSER=${{POSTGRES_USER}}
PGPASSWORD=${{POSTGRES_PASSWORD}}
PGDATABASE=${{POSTGRES_DB}}

Thank you very much! It worked. Is this delay in connecting to the database common?

It keeps loading

does the database have a public TCP proxy?

I don't think so

do i just have to add the port?

yes, and then redeploy

it's still just loading 🙂

you didnt set the variables to the values i gave you, and you incorrectly modified a variable that i didnt mention

fixed that for you, works now

Thank you very much! It's my first time on Railway and I started with a template, I didn't really know what to do. Now it's working perfectly!

may i ask why you needed to use the data tab though?

I want to create a table to store all the conversations of a particular ID (WhatsApp) in the n8n chat bot. At first, it would be

wouldnt that be done via n8n's ui

doesnt seem like something the end user should be modifying?

If I can create a table directly via n8n, all the better. I'm a frontend developer and know a bit about backend. This is the first time I've used n8n. I used to automate with Express and Supabase. That's why I also intend to use postgres

i dont know if you can, just saying that digging around in a database is probably not the way to go

remember, the platform will not help if you lose any data

It would be another instance, this one I'm not going to touch because it's a template and I don't know what's in it

sounds good, is it good to mark this as solved now?

ok. Thanks 🙂
