The easiest way to verify your DB connection is on the API Docs tab of your Admin Console. E.g., I have created a CouchDB with a database named “dspdemo” and a document named “document”. In API Docs, I expand the service (which I’ve, unsurprisingly, named “couch”) and click on `GET /couch/{table_name} getRecords() - Retrieve one or more records.` I then input the database and document names:

[The image you are requesting does not exist or is no longer available]

I receive back the requested document, which contains one field, “field”, whose value is currently null.

[The image you are requesting does not exist or is no longer available]

If you receive a different response, or an error, please let me know what it is.
