🔗 Connect to a Remote SQL Database

• 🚀 Easily query a remote SQL database over SSH
• 👉 Make sure you have installed the 🧩 Remote SQL plugin

🔑 Step 1: Generate an SSH Key

Run the following command to generate an SSH key:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -N '' -f my-ssh-key

This will create two files:

• my-ssh-key (private key)
• my-ssh-key.pub (public key)

📤 Step 2: Copy Your SSH Key to the Server

Run the following command in a terminal and enter your server password when prompted:

ssh-copy-id -i my-ssh-key user@XXX.ovh.net

This allows passwordless authentication when connecting to your remote database.

🛠️ Step 3: Query the Remote SQL Database

Use the following script to execute an SQL query over SSH:

//exec:node
const query = "SELECT * FROM TABLE;";

const sshKey = "my-ssh-key"; // Path to your SSH private key
const remoteHost = "user@XXX.ovh.net"; // SSH user and host
const sshPort = 3307; // Change if needed (default: 22)
const dbDialect = "mysql"; // Options: 'mysql' | 'postgres' | 'mssql'
const dbPort = 3306; // Default ports: MySQL/MariaDB=3306, PostgreSQL=5432, MSSQL=1433

const results = await getRemoteSQL(query, sshKey, sshPort, dbPort, remoteHost, dbDialect, "user", "password", "database");

printJSON(results);

✅ You're now ready to securely query your remote database over SSH! 📖 More details available in the Remote SQL plugin documentation.
