Database access

This page shows you how to connect external tools — like a BI tool or a SQL client — directly to your site’s database, for advanced reporting.

What you get

Section titled “What you get”

Database access is available on larger plans (from the $50/mo tier). You choose the access level:

  • Read-only — query your data without any risk of changing it. Recommended for analytics.
  • Read-write — full access. Any change you make is permanent, so use with great care.

Get your credentials

Section titled “Get your credentials”
  1. Open your site and go to Actions → Access Site Database.
  2. Choose read-only (or read-write) and enable access.
  3. Zinye gives you the connection credentials (host, database, user, password).

Connect a tool

Section titled “Connect a tool”
  • BI / analytics tools (Metabase, Power BI, Looker Studio, etc.) — paste the credentials in. Connections require TLS/SSL.
  • Command line — copy the provided MariaDB command and run it (you’ll need a mariadb/mysql client installed), then enter the password when prompted.
