# Cloud SQL
#### 1. Go to your [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com)
#### 2. Click on SQL
#### 3. Write down the public IP address of the SQL Instance you want to use
#### 4. Click on the instance you want to use
#### 5. Go to "Users"
#### 6. Make sure the user you want to use is listed here, let's take "fake\_user"
#### NOTE: You can manage the user's password by clicking on the 3 dots
#### NOTE: you can add a new user by clicking "ADD USER ACCOUNT"
#### 7. Click on "Databases" and find the database inside the SQL Instance
8. Write down the Database Name you want to use, here let's take "my\_tutorial\_database"
8. In Cloud SQL the port is always 5432, the connection string will then have the form: postgres\://\[USER]:\[PASSWORD]@\[PUBLIC\_IP\_ADDRESS]:5432/\[DATABASE\_NAME] In our example: postgres\://fake\_user:\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*@74.75.177.158:5432/my\_tutorial\_database- you can now paste into Stacksync
