@Marvin can i get a direct database client instead of the prefect client?

It appears you're looking for ways to connect directly to a Prefect database instead of using the Prefect client. Well, Prefect supports configuring the server to use a PostgreSQL database, and you can interact with this database directly if you prefer. You can set an environment variable to point to the database connection URL for PostgreSQL and then use any database client that supports PostgreSQL to connect and interact with it. Here is a brief step to do so: - Set the environment variable for database connection URL to your PostgreSQL instance:

prefect config set PREFECT_API_DATABASE_CONNECTION_URL="postgresql://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<database>"

- Start the Prefect server which will now use your PostgreSQL database:

prefect server start

Keep in mind, direct database interactions bypass the Prefect client and can potentially lead to issues if you're not careful with database schemas and migrations. Prefect uses Alembic for managing database migrations, and any direct database modifications should be compatible with Prefect's migration policies. You can read more about this on the Prefect documentation. Make sure you understand the database schema and any potential impacts of your queries or changes, as this can affect how Prefect operates.
