Loading Data from MySQL

This section describes how to connect MySQL with Exasol and then load data. The driver for MySQL is pre-installed with Exasol. You can see the driver details in the EXAoperation (Configuration Software > JDBC Drivers tab).

Run Statement

Run the following statement to create a connection.

CREATE OR REPLACE CONNECTION JDBC_MYSQL
    TO 'jdbc:mysql://192.168.99.100:3306/my_database' 
    USER 'root'
    IDENTIFIED BY 'mysql';

Run the following statement to test the connection.

select * from 
(
import from JDBC at JDBC_MYSQL
statement 'select ''Connection works'' from dual'
);

To view details about data type mappings or to migrate data, refer to the GitHub repository.

Load Data

You can use the IMPORT statement to load data using the connection you created above. IMPORT supports loading data from a table or a SQL statement.
