MindsDB and Postgres CLI

The Postgres API enables users to connect to MindsDB using the PostgreSQL protocol.

If you installed MindsDB locally, use the below command to run its Postgres API:

python -m mindsdb --api http,mysql,postgres

How to Connect

To connect MindsDB in PostgreSQL, use the psql client program:

psql -h localhost -p 55432 -d mindsdb -U mindsdb

We use the local MindsDB installation with the following parameters:

• host: localhost
• port: 55432
• database: mindsdb
• user: mindsdb

Here are the commands that allow you to connect to either a local MindsDB installation or a MindsDB Cloud instance.

Please see this page for implementation details.
