Any tool with a PostgreSQL connector can connect to Airhouse. Choose the PostgreSQL connection type and enter your Airhouse connection parameters.

DBeaver

  1. Select Database > New Database Connection and choose PostgreSQL.
  2. Enter the host, port 5445, database, username, and password.
  3. Select Test Connection, then Finish.
Your tables appear under the lake catalog, in the main schema unless you created others.

Tableau

  1. Under Connect > To a Server, choose PostgreSQL.
  2. Enter the server, port 5445, database, username, and password. Check Require SSL if your server has TLS enabled.
  3. Select Sign In, then pick tables from the main schema.

Other tools

Tools that browse schemas read Postgres system catalogs such as pg_catalog.pg_class and pg_catalog.pg_namespace. Airhouse answers these introspection queries from DuckDB’s information_schema, so table and schema browsers work in most tools. If a tool’s schema browser shows nothing, you can still run SQL directly, and information_schema.tables and information_schema.columns list everything in your database.
Give dashboards and BI tools a user with the reader role. They can query everything but can’t change data. See Users, roles, and security.
