Step 9: Create (or use an existing) database

Creating a dedicated database for Holori on OCI can be costly. We recommend using an existing database on another provider, or an existing one on OCI, to take advantage of existing quotas.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact us via the in-app chat or by email at support(at)holori(dot)com.

The same database can be used for multiple FOCUS accounts. In this case, you must provide a different table_name for each account.

Regardless of the provider, we need the following information:

  • Protocol
  • Username
  • Password
  • Host
  • Port
  • Database
  • Table name (must be different for each FOCUS account; Holori will automatically create the table)
  • SSL mode
  • SSL certificate

Save and verify

Once all the steps above are completed, click Save and Verify at the bottom of the page.
It may take up to 48 hours for the data to become available in Holori.
