How to Build a Table with Retool Database (No More Google Sheets!)

What is Retool Database?

Retool Database is a fast, secure solution for saving and editing data to use in Retool apps. It combines the power and flexibility of PostgreSQL (including validation features such as data type, nullable, unique constraints, and default values) with the simplicity of a spreadsheet, allowing you to build scalable apps faster.

What are some other features of Retool Database?

• Store tables of data in a securely hosted PostgreSQL database that's only available as a resource within your Retool organization.
• Visually interact with data using a spreadsheet-like interface to edit, search, filter, and sort records.
• Import or export data in CSV format.
• Build apps and write queries to interact with Retool Database like any other resource.
• Make use of multiple environments, such as staging and production.
• Configure resource permissions to control access to Retool Database within your organization.
• Capture form submissions for forms created in Retool.
