11/07/2023, 5:08 PMHello friends! I am enjoying the Botpress helper bot from the share-your-bot channel and it has given me an answer I cant seem to follow. I want to connect to a database and be able to query it... I am not seeing the databases option in my admin panel. (Option 3 in the image)

11/07/2023, 7:49 PM@few-pilot-84811 are you building on cloud?

11/07/2023, 7:50 PMYes, I prefer all the advantages of cloud if i can manage it. Assuming V12 or on prem will be deprecated eventually.

11/07/2023, 8:10 PMwhen you say "query it", do you mean like KB? or just query using SELECT?

11/07/2023, 8:11 PMWhat kind of DB? where does it resides? cloud or on-prem

11/10/2023, 2:01 PMI think it might be best if i describe my use case. I am the VP for IT at a University and I am building the chatbot to dialogue with my students about their academics and financial aid and other services. In order to do that correctly, We will need the bot to access private data in our Student Information system. There are workarounds and different ways to get at this but i would like to be as native to botpress as possible for all the reasons that is a good idea. 🙂 I am waiting to talk to someone about Enterprise edition if that offers different functionality.

11/10/2023, 4:12 PMThe bot was shared in the "🤖share-your-bots" channel here. https://discord.com/channels/1108396290624213082/1170529807327576104

11/10/2023, 4:13 PMYes a SELECT on a SQL DB is all I'm looking or at this stage of iteration.

11/10/2023, 4:14 PMThe DB is, for all intents and purposes, on premises.
