MySQL

💪 Difficulty: advanced
⏳ Time to complete: approx: 10-15 min (if your database has restricted inbound IP security rule, you need to schedule a call with us - we’re working on something better!)
MySQL is a relational SQL database. If you’re absolute thrilled to learn more about what that is, check Codecademy’s explanation.
Connecting to a MySQL database is very helpful if you have your own application that pushes data to a database. Such a database usually contains information on your customers and their behavior, but it could contain many important things.
This Connector should probably be configured by (or with assistance from) your database responsible - you’re also welcome to schedule a call.
If your MySQL (or the server it's hosted on) has restrictive inbound IP rules, you need to schedule a call with us as you cannot access the Less application’s IP currently. We are working on displaying the IP of the Less application inside the web application.
If your MySQL (or the server its hosted on) has unrestricted IP access, continue below 👇
Input the Host IP of your MySQL in the Less configuration window. Usually looks something like this: 87.398.80.712
Input the Host Port of your MySQL in the Less configuration window. It’s usually 3306.
Input the Database name of your MySQL in the Less configuration window.
Input the names of the MySQL Collections you want to extract in the Less configuration window. This should be a comma-separated list like table1,table2,table3
Input the username and password of a MySQL account with read access. Everything is encrypted in transit and at rest.
