Database Access With Docker
Quickly connect to PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB and Redis databases using Docker with simple, one-line commands, bypassing the need for local installations.
Ever needed to quickly connect to a database without installing the client tools directly on your machine? Docker to the rescue! This allows you to jump into a database shell from any environment with Docker installed, saving time and keeping your system clean.
PostgreSQL
