- Improved Databases
Linking your own AWS account (BYOC) now checks its permissions first and shows the policy it needs.
-
-
- New AI
Talk to Database: owners and admins ask a managed PostgreSQL database a question and get a sentence, a chart, a table and the SQL. The AI only picks from table and column names you approved, our code writes the SQL and rows never reach the AI.
- Improved Databases
Only owners and admins can see a database's master password or manage its users.
-
-

-
- New AI
Ask AI arrives in the console: type what you want and it shows you the screen that does it. It guides and never acts on its own.
