Frequently asked questions

Which databases does Metabase connect to?
Chevron Blue

Metabase ships 18 official connectors — including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, ClickHouse, MongoDB, and SQL Server — and supports 11 more databases through community drivers. Every connector on this page links to its setup guide.

What’s the difference between official and community connectors?
Chevron Blue

Official connectors are built and managed by Metabase, available in all editions, and covered by technical support on paid plans. Community connectors are built and maintained by our open-source community, work only when self-hosting, and aren’t officially supported by Metabase — for help, reach out to the driver’s author.

My data lives in a SaaS tool like Stripe or Google Analytics — can Metabase analyze it?
Chevron Blue

Yes, with one step in between: sync the tool’s data into a database or warehouse from this page (using an ETL tool like Airbyte or Fivetran, or the tool’s own export), then point Metabase at it. Browse the integrations catalog for tool-by-tool guides covering Stripe, Google Analytics, HubSpot, Shopify, and 250+ others.

Can I analyze data without connecting a database at all?
Chevron Blue

Yes. You can upload CSV files straight into Metabase and query them like any other table — handy for spreadsheets and one-off datasets. On Cloud plans with Storage, you can also sync Google Sheets.
