I’ve not been able to get Postgresql going by installing it on Windows.
(Saw the discussion that mentioned setting up for noobs)
So I see it mentions to use Railway in Tutorial 1, so I went to try that.
But the info ends with “Copy the Database URL snippet”
But nothing after that ???
Can someone fill me in on the next step ?
Also I think the screenshots/info may have changed for Railway too!
Cheers, Dave
Hey @daveit,
Welcome to the community!
Yeah I can see that the tutorial here seems to just trail off! Next steps to use Railway locally are:
- add what the copied database url to your
.env
file (create one if you dont’ have this file)
DATABASE_URL=<paste what you copied here>
- And like the tutorial suggests, you want to add a connection limit
After pasting the value, append
?connection_limit=1
to the end. The URI will have the following format:postgres://<user>:<pass>@<url>/<db>?connection_limit=1
.
- [Optional] Run
yarn rw prisma migrate dev
, and if you’d like to seed your new databaseyarn rw prisma db seed
Hope this helps!
