Accessing postgreSQL
It seems like I am able to use view and edit my database by only knowing this:
postgresql://postgres:4.............d@monorail.proxy.rlwy.net:4.......5/railway
I am trying to use pgAdmin locally but it doesn't let me connect, it says timeout.
I am also very confused why it isn't asking for a password, how is this working through Golang?? (I set this up a while ago)
(I don't know database stuff very well)

Project ID:
N/A
a database url will contain the username and password, as youve hidden
as for the timeout issue, make sure you are using the correct variables
Does it go under "hostname/address" btw?

the password would be the password you get from the variables tab
your port is wrong, please use the correct credentials per the variables tab
Got it now, thanks!
no prob
