Native MySQL Connections for Cloud SQL

[Joe Faith]

Dear Cloud SQL Users

We are delighted to say that it is now possible to use native MySQL connections (the MySQL wire protocol) to connect to Cloud SQL instances. This means your Cloud SQL instances will be available from just about any application, anywhere -- including, of course, those running on Google Compute Engine and App Engine. The benefits of enabling the MySQL wire protocol include:

• Low latency connections from applications running on Google Compute Engine.

• Using tools such as MySQL Workbench, Toad, and the MySQL command-line tool (mysql) to manage your Cloud SQL instances.

• Accessing your instances via standard drivers that use MWP, such as Connector/J, Connector/ODBC, and Connector/NET.

We are also making it possible to replicate your Cloud SQL data to other MySQL databases not on Google’s cloud, meaning:

• Lower latency connections to on-premise applications

• Off-cloud analytics that won’t interfere with your transactional database

• Fully redundant standby on another platform in case of multiple simultaneous outages to Google Cloud.

Note that this functionality will also be available in the new version of the API (v1beta3). The existing version (v1beta1) is still available, but deprecated.

Hi Joe,

This is great, I think we were all waiting for that.
The last issue with the the PHP > GAE is the cURL library.
Without PHP curl, no Facebook Graph API, no Mixpanel API, many Wordpress addons are out-of-service and many Google API SDK services no longer works.

If cURL is such a problem, can you emulate it through a global PHP function with the same name and doing the same job?

Best regards,
Brice
