Actian Data Platform

To connect your Actian Data Platform instance to Wobby, follow these steps:

1. Create a dedicated user with read-only access.

2. Grant read-only permissions on the schemas you want to expose.

3. Allow Wobby's IP address through your firewall or network rules.

4. Set up the connection in the Wobby interface.

Wobby's agents only run read-only queries on your data. No write permissions are required.

1. Create a Read-Only User in Actian

Create a dedicated database user for Wobby with read-only access. Run the following SQL as a user with administrative privileges:

-- Create a user for Wobby
CREATE USER wobby_user WITH PASSWORD '<your_secure_password>';

---

2. Grant Read-Only Access to Your Schemas

Grant Wobby read access to the tables in the schemas you want to expose:

-- Grant read-only access to a specific schema
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA your_schema_name TO wobby_user;

Repeat this for each schema you want Wobby to access.

Security tip: only grant access to the schemas your analysts actually need. You can always add more schemas later.

3. Allow Wobby's IP Address

If your Actian instance is protected by firewall or network rules, allow inbound traffic from Wobby's static IP:

34.77.172.158

4. Set Up the Connection in Wobby

1. Click Connections → Plus button → Select Actian Data Platform.

2. Fill in the following details:

   • Connection string: your Actian connection string, in the format @<hostname>,tcp_ip,<port>::<database> (e.g. @av-043ios4r2921.avd.actiandatacloud.com,tcp_ip,27832::db)

   • Database: the name of the database Wobby should connect to

   • Username: wobby_user

   • Password: the password you defined earlier

   • Schemas: select the schemas you granted access to in step 2

3. Test the connection and save.

That's It!

Wobby is now connected to your Actian Data Platform and can start delivering insights with natural language queries—no SQL or dashboards needed.
