• Schema Introspection – Automatic discovery of schemas, tables, and columns
• Parameterized Queries – Secure SQL execution preventing injection attacks
• Execution Modes – Single, Transaction, and Independent execution strategies

Installation

Follow the installation guide in the n8n community nodes documentation.

Operations

Create, Read, Update, Delete operations for database rows, plus custom SQL query execution with parameter binding. The node also provides dynamic schema introspection for automatic table and column discovery.

Credentials

To use this node, you need a Neon database account and connection details.

Prerequisites:

1. Sign up for a Neon account
2. Create a new project and database
3. Note your connection details

Required connection parameters:

• Host – Your Neon database host (e.g., ep-xxx-pooler.region.aws.neon.tech)
• Port – Database port (default: 5432)
• Database – Database name
• Username – Database username
• Password – Database password
• SSL – SSL mode (required for Neon)

The node enforces SSL connections for security and uses parameter binding to prevent SQL injection.

Compatibility

• Minimum n8n version: 1.0.0
• Tested with: n8n 1.104.2 (Self Hosted)
• Node.js: 20+ (required by n8n)
• Database: Neon PostgreSQL (compatible with PostgreSQL 15+)

Usage

Add the Neon node to your workflow, configure your database credentials using the "Test Connection" button, and select your operation. The node automatically discovers your database schema and provides dynamic table and column selection.

For custom SQL queries, use the "Execute Query" operation with parameter binding:

SELECT * FROM users WHERE active = true
INSERT INTO logs (message, timestamp) VALUES ($1, $2)
UPDATE products SET price = $1 WHERE id = $2
