Working with azure(mysql database) in node javascript with cloud API - mysql

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.

Can Flutterflow app access MySQL database from my Google Cloud Instance?

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)

Delphi existing application connect to cloud

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.

Can Node API build on top MySQL DB?

I am aware that node APIs can be built on top of NoSQL DB can node API be built with MySQL DB? Please also share some good resources.
Node.js is Javascript server side runtime. So You can connect to all the data source you can with java/.Net etc. So yes, you can use MySql with node.js.

Offline Firebase stub

I've written a front-end application in Angular which communicates with a back-end application in NodeJS. The backend application talks to a Firebase instance to fetch/store/modify data. In some occasions, I need to run this backend offline (without a connection to the Internet), so I can't connect to Firebase.
Is there any (simple) way to create a stub (e.g. using the export JSON file from Firebase) that reads from and writes to this file, to emulate a Firebase instance? I've been looking on the Internet, and some people recommended MongoDB, but this would require quite a lot of modification to my code.
Yup. You can run a local firebase with firebase-server. It's worth noting it has some limitations (no Firebase auth, for instance) but that should be easier to stub.
You can read more on the firebase blog: https://www.firebase.com/blog/2015-04-24-end-to-end-testing-firebase-server.html

how to connect mysql server on external server in j2me application

I have a hosting account at godaddy ruinning Linux. Is has MySQL. I am creating a J2ME application that runs on android and I was wondering if there is any simpler way to connect from j2me application to my MySQL server?
Is it required to install anything at my server? which I cannot do because of the shared account. Any way to just open the connection, update some data in the MySQL from j2me application?
It is quite simple. You just need to do HTTP application/x-url-form-encoded request on the midlet and set request property to HTTP.POST. Then stream form data as bytes. Receive those post variable using a server side language (i used PHP) like $_POST['var'] and in that server script write MySQL query like insert into .. VALUES.. etc.
I don't know if any DB drivers exist for J2ME. If you can't find them just make layer on the server and implement your own protocol for retrieving data via http or sockets
