Wix Data gives you powerful data storage and retrieval capabilities, as well as the ability to create and maintain your own data collections. But what if you already have your own database, or you want to host your data on a relational database?
With External Database Collections, you can use your BigQuery database hosted on Google Cloud Platform and fully integrate it into your Wix site. You can use any of the wix-data and wix-dataset APIs with External Database Collections, as well as connect repeaters, tables, and other page elements to your BigQuery data.
Very useful. Some of our clients have required these types of integration in the past. I couldn’t find the guide for AWS PostgreSQL which is highly demanded by our clients is that also available?
I am trying to figure out how to give my wix site write permissions to my GCP bigquery tables. Is that even possible to do? I have been trying to find answers and I have been trying to post a question to the velo community but something is broken with the site for me. Thank you for the GCP integration guidelines. It was extremely helpful in getting the datasets connected, but right now I can only leverage the GCP data in a read-only format. I really need write permission as well.
Thank for the tutorial @marlowe-shaeffer . I succesfully connected a BigQuery table with Wix, but I have runned into a corner. Question: how would you recommend converting the data types not available in BigQuery (particuraly photo’s links).
