What happens if I reach the storage limit?
If you need more storage space, please reach out to us at retooldb-questions@retool.com
Can I connect to Retool Database externally?
You can query Retool Database from the Query Library and app editor, and import and export CSVs directly. Sync data in and out of Retool Database to another resource with Retool Workflows.
