Hello @Shahbaz_Ali,

Can you share some screenshots of how you have the resource set up?

Hi @Shahbaz_Ali,

Do you have any more details or screenshots on the error message you are getting?

Are you self hosted or on the cloud? You shouldn't need port forwarding, just the connection string for your DB to add it to a Retool resource. What type of DB are you looking to connect?
