DataStudio for MySQL 8.0

[Paul Czajka]

Does DataStudio support MySQL 8.0 yet?  Documentation says no - just checking if that's up-to-date.  If not, any indication when to expect support?

Hi,

Unfortunately, Data Studio cannot connect to Cloud MySQL 8.0 directly at the moment. However, there is a feature request with Cloud SQL product team on the issue. There is no guarantee of implementation or any ETA at this time. You may star these public issue trackers[1,2] to receive any update about this feature request in the future.

As a workaround, you may use the previous Cloud MySQL version or try the workarounds suggested in the aforementioned issue trackers. And in this stackoverflow issue[3], Salvi Pascual also provides a workaround for you to reference.

Please keep in mind that Data Studio is not owned by the Google Cloud Platform team, and if you need support in the future about Data Studio, you may contact the respective support team[4].

I hope that this makes things clearer for you. If you have any other questions or concerns about this case, It will be our pleasure to assist you further.
