What changed and why

The "Viewing data" guide shows how to connect TablePlus, DataGrip, DBeaver and Postico to Prisma Postgres with the direct connection string. This adds a section 2e for LibreDB Studio, an open source (MIT) web-based SQL editor (https://github.com/libredb/libredb-studio), in the same shape as the TablePlus and DataGrip sections: the same fields, db.prisma.io on port 5432, SSL mode require, then Test Connection. It also names LibreDB Studio in the intro sentence that lists the editors.

LibreDB Studio can also read the direct connection string as a whole: its Paste URL and Parse actions fill in host, port, database, user, password and SSL mode require from postgres://USER:PASSWORD@db.prisma.io:5432/postgres?sslmode=require, so the step offers that first and the field list as the alternative.

libredb is added to apps/docs/cspell.json so the spellcheck job passes on the new section.

How it was tested

  • Connected LibreDB Studio to a Prisma Postgres database with the direct connection string and followed the steps on the page: Paste URL, Parse (PostgreSQL selected, fields and SSL mode require filled in), Test Connection, Establish Connection. Then browsed the tables and ran a SELECT and an INSERT on a small test table.
  • Repeated the connection with the fields entered by hand and SSL mode require.
  • The screenshot is from the Paste URL run, with the username blurred.
  • cspell with apps/docs/cspell.json on the changed page: 0 issues.

Screenshots

  • New image apps/docs/public/img/ppg-libredb-studio.png, next to the other ppg-*.png images used on this page.

Follow-ups / known limitations

  • None for the page itself. postgres/database/connecting-to-your-database.mdx also lists GUI tools; I left it unchanged to keep this PR to one page, and can add LibreDB Studio there too if you prefer.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added LibreDB Studio to the PostgreSQL editor guide, with instructions for launching it and connecting to Prisma Postgres using a direct connection string or manual connection details, including the required SSL setting.
