MySQL
Configuring your MySQL source.
Prerequisites
- If your MySQL database is protected by security groups or other firewall settings, you will need to have the data-syncing service's static IP available to complete Step 1.
Step 1: Allow access
Create a rule in a security group or firewall settings to whitelist:
- incoming connections to your host and port (usually
3306
) from the static IP. - outgoing connections from ports
1024
to65535
to the static IP.
Step 2: Create reader user
Create a database user to perform the reading of the source data.
- Open a connection to your MySQL database.
- Create a user for the data transfer by executing the following SQL command.
CREATE USER <username>@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '<some-password>';
- Grant user required privileges on the relevant tables.
GRANT SELECT ON 'some_schema'.'some_table' TO <username>@'%';
Step 3: Add your source
Securely share your host name, database name, port, your chosen schema name, username, and password with us to complete the connection.
