Connect via Surrealist

Once you have created a Surreal Cloud Instance, you can connect to it in Surrealist, which allows you to interact with your created Cloud Instance from the query view in Surrealist.

Start by clicking the Connect button on your Instance. Then select the Open in Surrealist option in the connection modal. This will open the Surrealist query view.

Open in Surrealist

Querying your Instance

Once in the query view, and before you can run queries in Surrealist, you need to select a Namespace and a Database to work in.

First click on the Namespace dropdown and select the namespace you want to work in (if you have not created a namespace, you will see an option to create one). Then click on the Database dropdown and select the database you want to work in.

Namespace and Database

Once you have selected a namespace and database, you can start running queries in Surrealist. You can run queries to create, read, update, and delete data in your Surreal Cloud Instance.

Querying Instance

You can now see your queries and results in the Surrealist query view. You can also see the created records in the explore view.
