Creating CockroachDB steps
Connect to your CockroachDB integration from Superblocks by creating steps in Application APIs, Workflows and Scheduled Jobs. You can configure a Superblocks CockroachDB integration with read only, read/write, or write only users. You can then configure a Superblocks CockroachDB step to read from a database, as well as modify/delete data. To get started, enter your SQL query into the text area of the CockroachDB step. Then click "Run" to see the Result and Executed SQL statement below.
See our guide for setting up basic CRUD actions using CockroachDB.
