## When to edit a connection

Common reasons to update your connection:

* Your database host or port changed (e.g., migrated to a new server)
* Database credentials were rotated (common with [Heroku](/providers/heroku))
* You want to point to a different database on the same server
* You need to change the schema from `public` to a custom schema
