MySQL

Drone comes with support for MySQL as an alternate database engine. To enable Postgres, you should specify the following environment variables:

DATABASE_DRIVER="mysql"
DATABASE_DATASOURCE="root:pa55word@tcp(localhost:3306)/drone"

MySQL connection

The following is the standard URI connection scheme:

[username[:password]@][protocol[(address)]]/dbname[?options]

The components of this string are:

• username optional. Use this username when connecting to the MySQL instance.
• password optional. Use this password when connecting to the MySQL instance.
• protocol server protocol to connect with.
• address server address to connect to.
• dbname name of the database to connect to
• ?options connection specific options

This is an example connection string:

root:pa55word@tcp(localhost:3306)/drone?autocommit=false

MySQL options

See the official driver documentation for a full list of driver options.
