Environment Tags
Use Environment Tags to organize database connections and add protection for sensitive environments.
What tags do
Environment tags are attached to connections so you can quickly identify environments such as local, development, testing, UAT, or production.
Tags are also used for strict-mode protection.
Default tags
OrcaQ ships with these built-in tags:
- prod
- uat
- test
- dev
- local
These built-in tags are system tags.
Create and manage tags
For each tag, you can configure:
- Name
- Color
- Strict mode
The settings screen supports:
- Create New Tag
- Edit tag
- Delete tag for non-system tags
Strict mode
When a connection has one or more strict-mode tags, OrcaQ shows a production warning before connecting.
To continue, the current UI requires the exact confirmation phrase:
this is prod
This is designed to reduce accidental connections to production-like environments.
Deleting tags in use
If a tag is already assigned to connections, OrcaQ shows a confirmation dialog before deletion and lists the affected connections.
Deleting the tag also removes it from those connections.
