Multi-Database Connections Overview

Multi-Database Connections​

The multi-database (multi-DB) feature allows Waii to index and manage tables, schemas, and data across multiple databases within supported data warehouses.

Enable Multi DB Flag​

To activate multi-database support, check the Enable Multi DB flag in your warehouse connection’s advanced settings.

  • Checking the Enable Multi DB flag allows Waii to access and index more than a single database or project for a connection, depending on your credentials and configuration.

Database Alias​

When setting up a multi-database connection, you must provide a Database Alias.

  • The Database Alias is required and will be used to uniquely identify this multi-db connection within Waii.
  • Choose an alias that is descriptive and easy to recognize for users managing multiple connections.

Automatic Indexing of Accessible Databases​

Once you have checked Enable Multi DB and entered your credentials, Waii will automatically attempt to index all databases or projects accessible with those credentials.

  • This enables unified search and management across your warehouse environment, subject to your permissions and warehouse capabilities.

Content Filters​

Content Filters let you control precisely which databases, schemas, or tables Waii will index:

  • Use content filters to include or exclude specific databases, schemas, or tables.
  • Important: To apply content filters to objects in multiple databases or projects, you must check the Enable Multi DB flag. Otherwise, filters for additional databases outside the selected database/project will be ignored.
  • Content filters ensure that only the relevant data for your organization is indexed.
