> Hello, I’m wondering whether I could make this query with the Supabase Plugin alone, or I need to do this with a PostgreSQL function and do a REST API request as I’m doing now, It would be great to have it in the Plugin, as we could use auth for RLS slight_smile

you can do joins and probably also some other functions, it is very badly documented both on WeWeb’s and Supabase’s side, but with some tinkering, I’ve managed to get my joins done via the native WeWeb Supabase integration without any code. This way you might not need to do rpc’s at all, or less of them.
