Setting aside the wisdom of doing it, is it possible to connect the local app to the production data? Currently i am adding and manipulating data, and functionality as i think of better ways of doing something. i am the only user so if i can connect direct to prod, it would make things easier.

Hi Martin,

Connecting directly to the database that is running in the cloud is not possible.

Possible solution could be to create 1 or more REST API’s to retrieve data from the application running in the cloud and store it in the local running application, and after manipulating the data, send an update to the application running in the cloud.

Martin, Though not advisable, but yes, from the App Settings-> Configurations you should be able to connect to any database. Did you try and face any connectivity/permissions issue?
