I have mysql server installed on my machine. I would like to connect to the same local mysql instance using Google app script's jdbc service. I am getting connection failed error. So, I would like to confirm:
1. is it possible to connect to mysql instance running on private machine(laptop) using jdbc service.
2. If not is it always mandatory to connect to public IP. What is the alternative to connect to mysql instance running on private machine.
This definitely works, but you need to permit Google's machines to connect to your machine. That means opening a hole in your firewall, possibly setting up port forwarding on your router, etc.
There is an alternative to poking a hole in your security arrangement, it is called Secure Data Connector, and it lets your machine initiate the connection to Google - https://developers.google.com/secure-data-connector/
Unfortunately, I don't believe that SDC supports JDBC yet (I believe it only supports HTTP based communication).
(P.S. One very simple work around is to mirror your local database to some kind of cloud service, and then permit access to that replica from Google).

I have a PHP web app (Snipe-IT) that was previously working.
We went through a security review, and the recommendation was made to enable service endpoints (Microsoft.Sql) on the application subnet so that web apps connect to databases over the Azure backbone. Everything is working fine for the other MSSQL apps, except for our Snipe-IT application, which connects to a GP_Gen5_2 MySQL instance.
The error message says:
D'oh! Looks like we can't connect to your database. Please update your database settings in your .env file. Your database says:
SQLSTATE[HY000] [9009] Client connections to Basic tier servers through Virtual Network Service Endpoints are not supported. Virtual Network Service Endpoints are supported for General Purpose and Memory Optimized severs. (SQL: select 2 + 2)
This error message doesn't match the environment configuration because the database in question is a General Purpose, 2 vCore(s), 50 GB database.
There is no networking tab on the MySQL server, but in the Connection security tab we have tried enabling access to Azure resources, allowing the full public internet (0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255), enabling and disabling forced SSL, but nothing changes the result.
Azure won't let us create a Private Endpoint on the MySQL database because 'the subnet contains external resources'
I am hoping there is a way to resolve this without having to rebuild both the app and database in a different App Service Environment and subnet.
Thanks
I don't understand why I got inconsistent connection from my local MySQL Workbench to Google Cloud SQL.
Something, I can connect to my database the first time, sometimes, I need to try multiples times before getting a connection. Sadly, most of the time, it's not working.
Because I can rarely connect to the database, what kind of configuration can cause this problem?
Here's some infos:
My application hosted on Google Compute Engine don't have any connection problem.
My public IP (personnal computer) is added to the Authorised networks in my Google Cloud SQL instance. See: Enabling public IP and adding an authorized address
I have added a Firewall rules to allow port 3306 in Google Cloud VPC network
SSL is currently disable for the testing purpose
I followed these instructions: How to connect to your Cloud SQL instance database with MySQL Workbench
For the benefit of future readers, the result of the comments above was:
The problem was that the client was alternating between two possible external IP addresses. One had been authorized to access Google Cloud, and the other one had not been authorized.
Enable all client IP addresses to connect, and that should fix it.
I am trying to locally run a PHP based project, connecting to an Amazon RDS instance. I am receiving the following error in the browser:
![SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002]]1
I have run a series of networking tests where I pinged the following and received successful test results. I pinged:
iiNet's web address
One of iiNet's DNS servers
The loopback address of my computer
I pinged Google
I then tried the mysql utility to remotely connect and received the
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server
Last factor I think you should know regarding my own networking situation, I am connecting to the internet via:
modem->Zyxel VPN->Wireless Router->My laptop
What in the Sam Hill is going on?
Thanks,
CM
For this to work, the following must be true:
the RDS instance must resolve to a public IP address (I'd check this for you but since you chose to use a screenshot instead of text, I can't copy paste it, so I'll leave it to you)
the Security Group(s) associated with the RDS instance must allow traffic from your public IP ( the one you'll get from http://wtfismyip.com/text ). This won't bet true by default. I highly recommend you open to your IP, not just everyone, as Mysql is trivial to DOS attack if its port is public.
The network ACL of the VPC hosting the RDS instance must allow the traffic also. This will be allowed by default, so unless you changed the ACLs in your VPC, you can ignore this.
If all those are true, you should be able to connect!
I'm trying to establish a basic mysql connection from a google compute engine instance in one project to a google cloud sql instance (2nd generation) in a different project.
I've done this many times before without any problem. You simply add the ip address of the google compute instance to the list of authorized networks for the google cloud sql instance. This has always worked in the past but it is not working now.
The only thing that I can think of which is different about this situation is that I've recently been experimenting with using the cloudsql-proxy to establish a connection from a different gce instance to the same google cloud sql instance. Could this be the problem? Perhaps the google cloud sql instance is getting confused by having to support both connection mechanisms?
I just need the connection to work. Is there a work-around?
There isn't a problem using both modes of connectivity simultaneously.
The only thing I can think of is that you are accidentally using an ephemeral IP addresses for your VMs instead of static, which means the VM may have a different IP address than you expect (after a restart, for example).
If that's not the case, please send a mail to cloud-sql#google.com with a little bit more information (project and database name, project/name/ip of your VM) so that we can figure out what's going on in the backend.
The new Google Cloud SQL Engine creates its own VM instance to run a MySQL database, with an exposed public IP address. I was hoping that it would be possible to VPN into the Google Compute Cloud, then connect to the MySQL VM instance internally. Is this possible? The computer I am trying to connect from is a physical machine located outside of the cloud.
If it's not possible, what if I connect via VPN and use the public IP address to connect to the MySQL instance? Would it resolve to the internal network quickly and mimic the behavior of a local connection (no delay)? Or would it have the same performance as connected to the external IP address with no VPN in place?
Sorry, there's currently no VPN/private IP support for Cloud SQL. At the moment, you can use instance settings to control which IPs are allowed to connect. By default, the mysql server is locked down from all external connectivity.
Connecting through a VPN should not improve latency and may in fact hurt it depending on how things are setup. I would recommend doing your own test if that's something you wish to verify.
You can also use the Cloud SQL Proxy to connect externally which uses SSL certs to establish an SSL tunnel to MySQL.
