MySQL
Import tables from any MySQL database. Enter your host, port, database, user, and password. Auto-discover tables and sync data to your workspace.
How It Works
Bring your MySQL data into your Flashbox workspace with our built-in connector. Enter your connection details (host, port, database, user, password), and Flashbox auto-discovers all tables in your database. Select which tables to import and data syncs automatically to your workspace. Perfect for syncing application databases, analytics databases, or any MySQL-powered data source.
Setting up MySQL access
Gather your connection details
You'll need your MySQL host (e.g. "db.example.com" or "localhost"), port (default 3306), database name, username, and password. If your database is hosted in the cloud (AWS RDS, PlanetScale, etc.), find these in your provider's dashboard.
Ensure network access
Make sure your MySQL server accepts connections from Flashbox. For cloud-hosted databases, you may need to whitelist Flashbox IPs (74.220.49.0/24, 74.220.57.0/24) in your firewall or security group settings.
Use a read-only user (recommended)
For security, create a dedicated read-only MySQL user for Flashbox: CREATE USER 'flashbox'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password'; GRANT SELECT ON your_database.* TO 'flashbox'@'%'; This ensures Flashbox can only read data, never modify it.
Enter credentials in Flashbox
Enter your host, port, database, user, and password when prompted. If your database requires SSL (most cloud-hosted databases do), enable the SSL toggle. Flashbox will connect and automatically discover all tables.
Select tables to import
Choose which tables you want to import from the discovered list. Click "Import" on each table - the entire table will sync to your workspace on your schedule. Use the "Refresh" button to refetch the table list if needed.
