Connect to Azure Database for PostgreSQL
Azure Flexible Server speaks standard Postgres over SSL. PG Orbit connects directly once your firewall allows it, and Azure sign-in via cloud discovery can find your servers for you.
Get your credentials
In the Azure portal, open your Flexible Server resource. The Overview page shows the server name (….postgres.database.azure.com) and admin username; the database defaults to postgres.
Add the connection in PG Orbit
- Tap + in PG Orbit to add a connection
- Host: <server-name>.postgres.database.azure.com — Port: 5432
- Database: postgres (or your own) — Username: your admin user — Password: your admin password
- Turn ON Use SSL (Azure requires it by default)
- Tap Test, then save
Good to know
- Under Networking, add a firewall rule for your current public IP — or allow Azure services and route through a jump box with Use SSH Tunnel.
- Single Server (retired) used user@servername usernames; Flexible Server uses the plain username.
