Project connections

Project connections are data connections linked to a specific project in Recurve. For each project connection, you can define the connection type and specify separate target databases for development and production environments. This setup provides smooth transitions when promoting changes from development to production.

While a project can have multiple project connections, only one connection can be set as the primary database at a time. This primary database, also called the analytics database, is optimized for reading and aggregating data in large volumes. All models in your project will be executed and built under the analytics database.

This guide shows you how to create a project connection and set the analytics database.

Create a project connection

Follow these steps:

1. Open your project and go to Settings > Data connections.

2. In the Define connection section, click + Add connection.

3. Provide the connection name and the connection type for development and production environments.

   Note that the connection type must be the same for both development and production environments.

   
4. Click Create.

Set analytics database

To set connection as the analytics database, follow these steps:

1. Open your project and go to Settings > Data connections.

2. Click on the option button of the desired connection.

   
3. In the opened pop-up, click Confirm.
