<!-- Answer -->
The reason Superset is still connecting to the internal database is that the
Helm chart does not use the externalDatabase block for its connection settings.
Instead, it builds the database connection URI from the
supersetNode.connections.* fields (db_host, db_port, db_user, db_pass, db_name)
and not from extraEnv or externalDatabase. If you don’t set these fields, it
defaults to the internal DB—even if you disable postgresql.enabled.
To fix this, add the following to your values.yaml (replace with your actual
Azure DB values):
```yaml
supersetNode:
connections:
db_host: appsqlsscind01.private.postgres.database.azure.com
db_port: "5432"
db_user: sspsqladmin
db_pass: Password123?sslmode=require
db_name: superset
```
You can remove the externalDatabase block—it is ignored by the chart. Make sure
you do not set SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI directly anywhere else. After updating,
redeploy with Helm and check pod logs to confirm Superset is using your
external DB.
