Hey there! We've found the following might help you get unblocked faster:

• 🧵 Multiple databases per project

• 🧵 Native database backups for popular databases

• 🧵 Postgres database wont load and is unreachable internally and externally

• 🧵 No restore button on backup

If you find the answer from one of these, please let us know by solving the thread!

Hi,

The Railway dashboard's Data tab is designed to show only the primary database configured for the service, not all databases within the PostgreSQL instance. This is expected behavior. To view/manage other databases, you should continue using external tools like psql, pgAdmin, or other database clients. If you need separate visibility in the dashboard, you would need to deploy separate PostgreSQL instances for each database.

You can read more about using Postgres with Railway here: https://docs.railway.com/guides/postgresql

Let us know if you have further questions.

Kind regards,

Sam

okay thank you
i made a feature request in case other people like me need it
https://station.railway.com/feedback/database-selector-on-the-view-data-tab-i-1cd1344a

but overall i LOVE what you've done keep up the amazing work

so is there a way to specify the main/default db name instead of "railway" and have it only show this db

EDIT: i found i can change it from the variables tab, change the POSTGRES_DB variable and it will update

Glad you found it and glad you are enjoying Railway. We love making customers happy!

Thanks for adding the feature request.

Have a great night.

Sam
