I will create a mobile app for Android and iOS. The purpose of the app is to access just a segment of the MySQL database, that part is for customers (the rest of the database is used by employees via my web application).
Is there a way the for FlutterFlow app to access MySQL database instead of FireBase Storage? If not, what are the alternatives?
Though flutterflow has default integration with Firebase firestore database,
below 2 approaches can be used.
API integration approach can be used to use MYSQL database.
Please refer below flow:
You can have backend Server which will host the API.
This backend server will have integration with MYSQL DB
API's will be consumed in flutterflow app
https://docs.flutterflow.io/data-and-backend/api-calls
Custom code approach (Though have not used it before)

I have my application in Delphi with MySQL as a database. This is a Desktop application with local Database connected using ADO components.
I have another web application done in PHP and MYSQL.
I want to merge both databases and connect the Delphi application to the cloud MySQL database.
Do I need to put all my logic in PHP scripts and access them from Delphi?
How Delphi to cloud connection can be established?
You can use FireDAC to connect to a database located in the cloud, as soon as your provider allows that connectivity.
But exposing you database to the internet is not the best secure architecture. As you suggest yourself with naming it, a much better architecture is REST. The idea is to write server side software - could be PHP - to accept REST requests from a client, execute it (access the database) and send a reply to the client.
Today's, the REST requests are frequently using JSON to pass requests and receive replies. JSON is supported by Delphi. In short, this is an ASCII representation for object properties.
If accessing the database directly is what you really want, look at this video by Stephen Ball showing how to access an MS-SQL database on Azure cloud. This would be pretty well the same with mySQL.
How to Connect Xamarin Forms to MySQL database as backend of the app without webservice?
i'm using a control panel website called myasp.net it offers a MySQL online database , and here's my phpMyAdmin i already set up all of the tables i needed, and i want to connect it to my xamarin forms application directly. is it possible?
I think your question also goes somewhat like this one I answered, and you are asking so many things with very few lines.
is it possible Xamarin.Forms Android and iOS with Sqlite syncing to MySql?
again, you need to create an API to reach there.
OR
if it is a huge learning curve for you right now, you can get a free azure account and create an Azure Function, as www.myasp.net offer MySQL get the connection credentials.
refer to this :
Azure Database for MySQL: Use Node.js to connect and query data
I'm working with an API app on Azure by deploying an API written in NodeJs which stores data in MongoDb.
Make a new API for web & mobile apps from Azure portal.
Choose MongoDb by adding MongoLab module from Azure.
Create a table (collection) and populate it with few entries.
Prepare our Git repository from Azure portal and link it to our local Git on computers.
Decide which NodeJs modules to use to set the dependencies.
Edit the configuration file for NodeJs.
Make the main API file with the following functionalities:
Connection to the database.
Running the service.Making CRUD operation services (CREATE, READ,DELETE...)
Testing our API on a browser.
Making an application using our API
My question: how to use these steps to store data in mysql database(azure)?
I cannot fully understand your requirement, do you want to use the MySQL database to store your data in your API application in Node.js? If not, please clarify your purpose.
To implement connection to MySQL in Node.js, you can use some 3rd part MySQL handler modules.
For example:
node-mysql - A pure node.js JavaScript Client implementing the MySql protocol
or
Sequelize - A promise-based ORM for Node.js and io.js
Any further concern, please feel free to let me know.
I am developing a GWT project that is hosted in GAE, and I would like to use an external MySQL database for persistence, instead of Datastore. Is it possible to do this? Is it compatible with RequestFactory?
Thanks
GAE offers the ability to use Google Cloud SQL instead of the High Replication Datastore.
RequestFactory does not make assumptions about the datastore you are using so there should not be any problem using it with Google Cloud SQL. You can also use both at the same time.
You cannot connect to a database server hosted anywhere else, unless you would create an interface that works on the HTTP level... which sounds like a really bad idea for several reasons.
I just wanted to ask if we can access an external MySQL server from Google App Engine...
The only way to communicate with other hosts is by using UrlFetch that only provides HTTP and HTTPS requests.
So, you can't do it out of the box.
Anyway, if you really need to access an external MySQL server database, you should consider to expose it through a Web API (RESTful, Soap web-services for example).
In this way your data would be available also via UrlFetch.
I am still in the learning phase of all this, but I am fairly certain you can do this now a few ways:
Link Apps Scripts to App Engine and use the JDBC
Link it to Google
Cloud SQL Store your SQL database on Google Cloud Store
Connect Apps Scripts via spreadsheet scripting
"Google Apps Script has the ability to make connections to databases via JDBC with the Jdbc Service. The current support extends to MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle. Apps Script makes it easy to connect to databases hosted on Google Cloud SQL, but also works with other cloud hosting platforms and even local databases." https://developers.google.com/apps-script/jdbc
(edited for structure)
It is still not possible to native connect GAE to an external MySQL server the only exception is Googles Cloud SQL. We are using it in our production environment and like the experience. Stable and the performance is good.
GAEs own database scales well and we are using it in most situations, but in cases where we need to ask more complex questions or need aggregate functions, we use Googles Cloud SQl.
These answers are a bit outdated. Google App Engine instances can connect to external database servers.
The ability to connect externally requires that the account the App Engine is running under be a "paid account" a/k/a "billing enabled".
