# Hex

## Connection Modes

There are two ways to connect **Hex** to Honeydew:

1. Via a **Snowflake** connection, utilizing the [Honeydew Snowflake Native Application](/integration/snowflake-native-app)
2. Via a **Trino** connection, using the [SQL interface](/integration/sql-interface)

## Connection Setup

## Setting up a New Trino Data Connection

Hex database connections are mapped to a Honeydew workspace and branch

<Tip>
  It is recommended to use an [API Key](/access-control/api-keys) for setting up the connection.
</Tip>

1. Go to **Data browser** and add a new **data connection**
2. Choose **Trino** from the list of supported databases
3. Set a unique **Name** for the connection
4. Set **Host** to `jdbc.honeydew.cloud` and **port** to `443`
5. Set **Catalog** to `<workspace>__<branch>` value, based on the Honeydew `workspace` and `branch` you would like to connect to.
   Omit the branch value if connecting to `prod`.
   For example, for workspace `tpch`, branch `prod`, the value would be: `tpch`.
   And for workspace `tpch`,  branch `dev`, it would be `tpch__dev`.
6. Set **Username** to the API key (or a Honeydew username), and **Password** to the API secret
   (or to the user's password in Honeydew).
7. Click **Create Connection**

<Note>
  If your organization uses a custom hostname for the JDBC connection,
  you can locate it in the Honeydew UI, under the **JDBC** section in **Settings**.
</Note>

You can now run SQL queries in Hex using the Honeydew data connection, just like with any other data connection.
For more information on how to use the Honeydew SQL interface, refer to [this section](/integration/sql-interface).

## Connecting via Snowflake Connection using the Snowflake Native Application

1. Create a Snowflake database connection in the account where you have
   the [Honeydew Snowflake Native Application](/integration/snowflake-native-app) installed
2. Run SQL queries in Hex using the Honeydew Snowflake Native Application
   [query interfaces](/integration/snowflake-native-app#queries) (`SELECT_FROM_FIELDS` or `SELECT_FROM_QUERY`)
   to query the data.
