MySQL Component

Query and manage data in a MySQL Database

Component key: mysql

Description

MySQL is a popular relational database system. This component allows you to query a MySQL database.

This component returns data as an object that can be used in subsequent steps. Instead of generating dynamic queries and sanitizing SQL yourself, you can use generic queries with parameter placeholders using the ? placeholder. You can use the placeholder several times in your query, and provide a list of optional parameters to the action. For example, you can enter a query that reads INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES (?, ?). Then, configure the optional parameters input to look like the following, ["myUsername", "myEmail"] or whatever values you like. Values provided for name and email are sanitized automatically.
