MariaDB


Overview​

Connect Superblocks to MariaDB to build apps with read and write access to a MariaDB database:

  • Read data from a database and utilize it in API steps or UI components

Read data from a MariaDB and use it within an Application

  • Save information retrieved by other API steps or UI components by writing data to a database

Write data into a MariaDB using SQL in a backend API

Setting up MariaDB​

1. Add integration​

Select MariaDB from the integrations page.

2. Configure settings​

info

If using Superblocks Cloud, add these Superblocks IPs to your allowlist (not necessary for On-Premise-Agent).

After connecting successfully, click Create to save the integration.

4. Set profiles​

Optionally, configure different profiles for separate development environments.

tip

MariaDB connected Now you can use MariaDB in any Application, Workflow, or Scheduled Job.

Creating MariaDB steps​

Connect to your MariaDB integration from Superblocks by creating steps in Application APIs, Workflows, and Scheduled Jobs. You can configure a Superblocks MariaDB integration with read only, read/write, or write only users. You can then configure a Superblocks MariaDB step to read from a database, as well as modify/delete data. To get started, enter your SQL query into the text area of the MariaDB step. Then click "Run" to see the Result and Executed SQL statement below.

Use cases​

Applications

Create an admin dashboard that reads from MariaDB and other sources. Mix in APIs to allow support agents to refund orders, update shipping statuses, or transform large datasets in a single UI.

Admin dashboard reads from MariaDB allowing for order refunds

Workflows

Enrich customer order data within MariaDB with shipping data from Snowflake or other datastores.

Use a workflow to enrich MariaDB data with data from other datastores like Snowflake

Scheduled Jobs

Send out a daily report via email of new customer bookings.

info

Note that JavaScript may be injected via {{ }}. Here we use JavaScript's moment package to easily manipulate the timestamp to the start and end of the previous day.

Use a scheduled job to query MariaDB and send out a daily report
