- Example (using PostgreSQL in AWS RDS):
postgresql-zepl-docs.si89zol2ksop.us-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com
- Port (required): 5432 is the default port for PostgreSQL
- Database (optional):
- If this is filled in, Zepl will append the database name to your connection string.
- If this is blank, the connection may use the default database set by your administrator
- Example:
postgresql-zepl-docs.si89zol2ksop.us-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com
/<database name>
- Username (required - can be entered later): Username used for connecting to PostgreSQL
- Password (required - can be entered later): Password used for connecting to PostgreSQL

### Option 1: Read into Python Pandas DataFrame object ###
df = pd.read_sql_query("SELECT * FROM zepl_doc;", conn)
### Option 2: Read into Python list object ###
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM zepl_doc;")
res = cur.fetchall()
# Display Results from dataframe (df) or list object (res)
z.show(df)
# Make the changes to the database persistent
conn.commit()
# Close communication with the database
cur.close()
conn.close()

TODO:
In your PostgreSQL database be sure that these items are configured properly:
- PostgreSQL should be accessible to Zepl's whitelisted IP addresses
- The user associated with your user name and password have access to the desired databases and tables
- User should have read and write permissions on the desired databases and tables
