Use mysql as a unique identifier, as it is a builtin connector.

Use the MySQL Connector #

The MySQL Connector allows you to index data from your database by executing a custom SQL query.

Configure MySQL Datasource #

To configure your MySQL connection, you’ll need to provide the connection details and the query to fetch the data.

Connection URI: The full MySQL connection string, including user, password, host, port, and database name.

SQL Query: The SQL query that will be executed to fetch the data for indexing. You can use JOINs and select specific columns.

Last Modified Field: (Optional) For incremental sync, specify a timestamp or datetime column (e.g., updated_at). The connector will only fetch rows where this field’s value is newer than the last sync time.

Enable Pagination: (Optional) A boolean (true or false) to enable paginated fetching. This is highly recommended for large tables to avoid high memory usage.

Page Size: (Optional) The number of records to fetch per page when pagination is enabled. Defaults to 500.

Field Mapping: (Optional) An advanced feature to map columns from your SQL query to specific document fields like id, title, content, and custom metadata.

Datasource Configuration #

Each datasource has its own sync configuration and MySQL settings:

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -XPOST "http://localhost:9000/datasource/" -d '{
    "name": "My MySQL Documents",
    "type": "connector",
    "enabled": true,
    "connector": {
        "id": "mysql",
        "config": {
            "connection_uri": "user:password@tcp(localhost:3306)/database",
            "sql": "SELECT * from DOC",
            "pagination": true,
            "page_size": 500,
            "last_modified_field": "updated",
            "field_mapping": {
                "enabled": true,
                "mapping": {
                    "hashed": true,
                    "id": "id",
                    "title": "title",
                    "url": "url",
                    "metadata": [
                        {
                            "name": "version",
                            "value": "v"
                        }
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
    },
    "sync": {
        "enabled": true,
        "interval": "30s"
    }
}'
