We’re excited to announce first-party support for PlanetScale as a data source.

PlanetScale is a high-performance MySQL-compatible database platform. With Basedash, you can build fully-featured admin panels on top of your PlanetScale database in seconds. This lets you build things like user dashboards, order management tools, or approval workflows in a few clicks. Everything you build in Basedash is shareable with your team, with full permission controls at your fingertips.

To connect a PlanetScale database, create a new connection in Basedash and select “PlanetScale” as your database. You can retrieve your connection credentials from the PlanetScale dashboard for easy connection to Basedash, with full read-write capabilities.

Once connected, you can create views to allow certain tables to be viewed and edited, and also write SQL queries directly against your database. Both views and queries can be shared with teammates with either view or edit access.

Basedash also supports PlanetScale Boost for ultra high performance queries. Any SQL queries you write in Basedash that match a query that you’ve cached in PlanetScale will be boosted. For now, you need to manually enable Boost cached queries on your database connection by running the following SQL query in Basedash: SET @@boost_cached_queries = true;

Search history

We now save search history within views so that you can easily go back to previous searches. We also now persist your search query on a view when you switch pages and come back. This makes it much easier to jump between pages and cross-reference data.
