rdbms driver deprecated? Should it work with 2nd generation Cloud SQL?

[Karoly Kantor]

I have a piece of Python software in the app engine using the old "rdbms" driver to connect to a first generation SQL data base instance.

Should it also work with a 2nd generation SQL instance? (I read somewhere that rdbms is being deprecated and replaced by MySQLdb)

I know MySQLdb is recommended, my question is whether rdbms theoretically still works with a 2nd gen instance or not.

Thank you!

Hi Karoly,

You're correct that the rdbms way to connect is deprecated and it will not work with the 2nd Gen Cloud SQL instance. That said, you should use the recommended way to connect documented as Connecting from App Engine.
