MySQL FAQ

What versions of MySQL can CloudQuery sync to from GitHub?

By default, the CloudQuery MySQL integration supports versions 8.0 and later. If you need to sync to an earlier version of MySQL, please get in touch with the team and we’ll find a way to help.

The CloudQuery MySQL integration does not yet fully support MariaDB. If this is important to your use case, then we would encourage you to upvote the odeon GitHub issue so that we can dedicate development resources to introducing full support.

GitHub FAQ

What authentication methods does the CloudQuery GitHub integration support?

The CloudQuery GitHub integration supports two authentication methods and the best option for your sync to MySQL will depend on your personal preferences and your organizational security policy.

The main difference your choice of authentication method will make to your sync from GitHub to MySQL is the rate at which CloudQuery can read and sync data. Personal access tokens have a lower rate limit than app authentication - so if you need to move a particularly large amount of data quickly, we would recommend using app authentication.

A full list of supported tables is available in the tables tab on our integration information page.

Archived repos will only be synced if a specific request is made. To include archived repos in the sync, include_archived_repos must be set to true.
