Velo: Adding and Deleting an External Database Collection
Note: This feature is only available for sites with certain premium plans. If you need to use this feature, you can upgrade your site. Learn more about premium plans.
Velo lets you connect your site to an external collection and then work with that collection in your site just as you would with our built-in collections.
Important: Before adding an external database to your Wix site you need to set up an external database collection adaptor on a Paas or FaaS platform, such as Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, or Microsoft Azure. See this tutorial to guide you through the process of setting a pre-built adaptor for MySQL and Postgres.
To add an external collection:
-
Select Databases from the Velo sidebar (Wix Editor) or the Code sidebar (Wix Studio).
-
Click the
icon next to External Databases and select Add external database.
-
Choose the cloud provider of the external collection you wish to add and click Next.
-
In the Connect External Database screen:
-
Give your namespace for the collections a name
-
Enter your endpoint URL for the external database adaptor
-
Enter the database adaptor's secret key
-
Your external collections are now listed under the namespace you gave it and you can work with them as you would your other collections.
To delete an external collection:
Delete an external collection in the same way that you would a built-in data collection, using the Show More icon 
.
