Arctype has focused since our very first release on having the best Postgres support in a SQL client. Today we are expanding that to the ecosystem, by adding a custom integration to YugabyteDB, the most scalable, Postgres-compatible distributed database. Read about some of the special features for Yugabyte users and the Postgres community in the Arctype integration announcement on Yugabyte's blog.
In the GIF above, users can easily copy their credentials from Yugabyte Cloud into Arctype and connect. Notice that the database URL is fully YSQL compliant and the default port is set automatically as well. For more information on connecting check out the guide on connecting to YugabyteDB in Arctype.
One of the most special things about Yugabyte is distributed tables, tables that are globally available and automatically sharded for you. When you create a YugabyteDB table in Arctype, it is automatically distributed. In the image above you can also edit the table to change its colocation, sharding, hashing, and other properties to get exactly the scalability you want. Powerful stuff!
YugabyteDB is not the only thing we have been up to. Read below for the full list of polishes, bugfixes, and changes. A particular highlight is the new ability to download data in Excel format directly from dashboards. As always, please do not hesitate to give us feedback and submit feature requests on our Discord!
