# Connect to a Database Tool to Run Ad Hoc Queries

## Create an Immuta user SQL account

{% hint style="warning" %}
The query engine must be enabled in your tenant to create a user SQL account. Contact your Immuta representative for details.
{% endhint %}

1. Navigate to your **Profile page**.
2. Click the [**SQL Credentials tab**](#user-content-fn-1)[^1], and then **Create Account**.
3. Fill out the required fields following these guidelines:

   * Usernames must be unique and can only consist of lowercase letters, numbers, and underscores ( `_` ).
   * Usernames cannot start with a number and can be no longer than 63 characters.
   * Passwords should not contain braces ( `{` ).

   Your SQL password will never be displayed in the Immuta console, so be sure to store it in a secure location.
4. Click **Create**.

These are the credentials you will use for authentication when you connect your database tool to Immuta to query data sources.

## Connect database tool

1. Connect your database tool (for example, [DBeaver](https://dbeaver.com/docs/dbeaver/Database-driver-PostgreSQL/)) to Immuta’s PostgreSQL tenant using the credentials you created in the previous section. For a list of database tools PostgreSQL supports, see the [PostgreSQL Clients page](https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Clients).
2. Query data sources registered from any of the following data platforms in your database tool:
   * Apache Impala
   * Netezza
   * Oracle
   * PostgreSQL
   * Teradata
