MySQL is the open-source relational database management system hosted either in the cloud or on-premise. The MySQL Connector, once known as MyODBC, is computer software from Oracle Corporation. It has Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface and allows programming languages that support the ODBC interface to communicate with a MySQL database.

Number field. Values will be converted into a number.
Database

The name of the database you would like to interact with.
Username

We recommend creating a new database user with extremely limited access.

Required for SSL. Provide the contents of the client certificate file in PEM format. The certificate's Common Name (CN) must match the Host provided above. The certificate must be issued by a public CA and all CA certificates needed to establish the certificate's authenticity must be included. Self-signed certificates are not supported. For details see Python's documentation on Certificates.
SSL Private Key

Required for SSL, but it may also be part of the SSL Client Certificate as long as it comes first. Provide the contents of the private key file. The private key may not be encrypted.
