Closes FDBKIN-31335 Closes FDBKIN-13040 Closes FDBKIN-8653 Closes FDBKIN-19912 Closes DOCS-740 ## I have read the [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) file. YES ## What kind of change does this PR introduce? Docs update. While we are revising this document, this PR gathers docs feedback via AI magic and applies that feedback. ## What is the current behavior? These findings stand on feedback intake rather than on the baseline. Worth doing, and the eval won't show a score change for any of them. - **Nothing explains the pooler host.** #49868 switched the strings to `[POOLER-HOST]`, but the page never says why you can't compose the host, and agents that recite `aws-0` get `Tenant or user not found`. agent-skills#92. - **The page gives the instruction to turn prepared statements off, but not the flag.** It also links the GitHub discussion rather than the troubleshooting entry that mirrors it. FDBKIN-8248, FDBKIN-7883. - **SSL goes undiscussed.** Four of six eval runs set `ssl: 'require'` unprompted. - **The pooled username format only appears inside example strings**, never as a rule. DOCS-740, FDBKIN-19912. - **Third-party tools have no answer.** Session mode is the right one, and the decision table had no row for a BI client or database GUI at all. FDBKIN-8653. - **Only one of transaction mode's three limitations is documented.** FDBKIN-13040 names prepared statements, cursors, and session-level settings. The page covered prepared statements. ## What is the new behavior? - Tell the reader to copy the host, port, and username rather than typing the placeholders, and explain the pooler cluster index next to the reference table. The placeholders themselves changed in #49868. - State the username rule: direct connections and the dedicated pooler use `postgres`, shared pooler connections use `postgres.<project-ref>`. - Add a per-driver prepared statements table for Postgres.js, Drizzle, Prisma, asyncpg, and JDBC, and link [Disabling prepared statements](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/troubleshooting/disabling-prepared-statements-qL8lEL) for the rest. Add JDBC's `prepareThreshold=0` to that entry too, so the two pages agree. - Document SSL: `require` rather than the `prefer` default, which falls back to plaintext. - Link the `CONNECT_TIMEOUT` entry for stale sockets in frozen serverless runtimes. - Add a decision table row for a third-party tool, and point at Quickstarts for named tools. - Cover all three transaction mode limitations. Cursors work inside a single transaction only, and session-level state is lost between transactions: `set` and `reset`, session-level advisory locks, `listen` and `notify`, and temporary tables. Renamed the section from "Prepared statements", since it now covers the cause rather than one symptom. - Promote Configure your client to an H2 and fold the SSL certificate section into it. The table of contents only renders H2 and H3, so the client settings were invisible as H4s. ## Manual testing 1. Open [Connect to your database](https://docs-git-docs-connecting-to-postgres-technical-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/database/connecting-to-postgres) on the deploy preview. 2. Read the Get your connection string lead-in. It tells you to copy the host, port, and username rather than typing the placeholders. 3. Check the table of contents. Configure your client is an H2 with Application-side pool size, Prepared statements, SSL, and Stale connections under it. 4. Follow the prepared statements link. It lands on the in-docs troubleshooting entry, not GitHub. 5. Open the [endpoint reference](https://docs-git-docs-connecting-to-postgres-technical-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/database/connecting-to-postgres#endpoints-and-ip-versions). The table shows `aws-[INDEX]-[REGION]`, and the prose below explains the index and the username rule. 6. Read the decision table. It has a row for a third-party BI client or database GUI, pointing at session mode. 7. Read [Transaction mode limitations](https://docs-git-docs-connecting-to-postgres-technical-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/database/connecting-to-postgres#transaction-mode-limitations). It covers prepared statements, cursors, and session-level state. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit ## Documentation - Expanded the Postgres connection guide with clearer client configuration guidance, including pool sizing, SSL, stale connections, and transaction mode limitations. - Added recommendations for BI tools and database GUIs using the shared pooler. - Clarified connection strings, pooler hosts, usernames, ports, and IP version behavior. - Updated serverless driver guidance for transaction mode configuration. - Added JDBC troubleshooting instructions for disabling prepared statements with `prepareThreshold=0`. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

Maintainers
If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.
DocSpec
We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.
- OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
- SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
- ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
- CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.
The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
