This is the implementation of the PlanetScale data handler for MindsDB. PlanetScale is a MySQL-compatible, serverless database platform.

​
Implementation

This handler is implemented by extending the MySQL data handler. The required arguments to establish a connection are as follows:
  • user is the database user.
  • password is the database password.
  • host is the host name, IP address, or URL.
  • port is the port used to make TCP/IP connection.
  • database is the database name.
If you installed MindsDB locally via pip, you need to install all handler dependencies manually. To do so, go to the handler’s folder (mindsdb/integrations/handlers/planetscale_handler) and run this command: pip install -r requirements.txt.

​
Usage

In order to make use of this handler and connect to the PlanetScale database in MindsDB, the following syntax can be used: 
CREATE DATABASE planetscale_datasource
WITH
  ENGINE = 'planet_scale',
  PARAMETERS = {
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "port": 3306,
    "user": "planetscale_user",
    "password": "password",
    "database": "planetscale_db"
  };
You can use this established connection to query your table as follows: 
SELECT *
FROM planetscale_datasource.my_table;
