Step-by-step walkthrough: How to connect MySQL to Google Sheets

1

Launch Superjoin

2

3

Connect your MySQL Database

Enter your connection credentials.
Avoid using local IP address (127.0.0.1) or private IP addresses like 192.168.1.100 (192.168.X.X). A private IP address for a server is like a private address of your device in a home or office network which can only be accessed from within the network and not from outside.
Typically, you can find these details in the configuration files of the application that interacts with your database, such as a config.php, .env, or other server-side configuration files. Alternatively, you may access these details from your database management system like phpMyAdmin or directly through MySQL command line using the status command.
FieldDescriptionExample
HostEnter the path to your database, which could be a URL or an IP address.mydatabase.example.com
PortUse the specific port for your MySQL database.Default is 3306
DatabaseSpecify the name of the database you want to query.mydatabase
