How the MySQL integration works

Sylus connects with a MySQL connection string and a read-only user. It reads your databases and tables to understand the schema, then runs read-only queries on the tables you select. It works with self-hosted MySQL and managed services such as Amazon RDS, Aurora, Google Cloud SQL, and Azure Database for MySQL.

Frequently asked questions

Is the MySQL integration read-only?

Yes. Sylus only reads data from MySQL. It never creates, edits, or deletes anything in your account, and you choose exactly which data it can access.

How long does it take to connect MySQL to Sylus?

Under 20 minutes. Connect MySQL with read-only access, choose the data Sylus can see, then ask your first question in plain English.

Do I need SQL or a data team to analyze MySQL data?

No. Ask questions about your MySQL data in plain English and Sylus returns answers, charts, and dashboards. When Sylus runs SQL, it shows the query behind every result so your data team can check it.

Is my MySQL data secure in Sylus?

Yes. Sylus is SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliant, and permission levels control which MySQL data each person or team can see. Permissions are enforced on every query, not left to the AI.

Can I get scheduled reports and alerts from MySQL?

Yes. Turn any question about your MySQL data into a report that lands in your inbox or Slack daily, weekly, or monthly, and get an alert when a metric spikes or drops.

Can I combine MySQL with my other tools in Sylus?

Yes. Connect as many sources as you need and put charts from MySQL next to charts from your CRM, finance, and marketing tools on the same dashboard.
