    Introduction

    This document aims to guide users through the process of creating a MySQL instance, and performing basic database operations.

    How to Work with MySQL?

    Step 1: Establish a Connection

    Make sure you possess appropriate credentials for establishing a connection with a MySQL database server.

    Step 2: Choose the River Mode

    Once you have successfully established a connection to MySQL, select the River mode to load data into a Target. There are 3 available options for you to choose from:

    Please Note:

    By clicking on the highlighted modes below, you will be taken to a relevant page that offers a comprehensive explanation and presents a Product Tour example showcasing the available features in MySQL.

    • Multi-Tables : Simultaneously load multiple tables from MySQL to your desired Target.
      • Standard Extraction - This River mode maps, transforms, and loads data from multiple tables into a unified schema. It uses SQL queries for transformations and can be scheduled or manually triggered.
      • Change Data Capture (CDC) - This mode monitors Source database logs, capturing and transforming changes in real-time. This ensures minimal data loss and low latency transfer when loading the transformed data into the target database, keeping it in sync with the Source.
    • Custom Query : Create a customized query and import it into your designated Target.
    • Legacy River: Select a sole Source table for loading into a Target.
