Maria DB

Internal supports the latest versions of MariaDB 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5.

How to connect

To add MariaDB, you'll need to select MySQL as your data source and enter your credentials.

• ‍Display Name: Give your data source a name for use within Internal. ‍
• Host: The hostname or IP address of your data source. ‍
• Port: Port to connect to.
• Username: Credentials for this data source.‍
• Password: Credentials for this data source.‍
• Database: The name of the database (this must match the actual name of your MariaDB database). 

What happens when you connect

When you connect MariaDB to Internal, we'll generate the following for you automatically:

1. A resource for each table in your database. Think of these as prebuilt SQL queries, so you don't have to write queries for everything.
2. An insert, update, and delete function for each table in the database (if the connecting user account has these privileges).
   

Custom Resources and Functions

In some cases, you may want to create a view that combines data from various tables or elevates nested JSON fields to top-level attributes. To accomplish this, create a custom SQL Resource (a.k.a. SQL Query). To enable custom operations that write directly to your database (e.g. bulk actions), create a custom Function.

Filtering and Sorting

While Internal enables filtering and sorting on all columns, we recommend indexing columns on large tables to improve performance. Supported operators include =, !=, <, <=",">, >=, IN, ILIKE for all data types except geometry, point, linestring, polygon, multipoint, multilinestring, multipolygon, geomcollection, and json. Only the = and IN operators are supported for the latter. </,>
