Frequently Asked Questions

If you question is not covered here, you can contact our team.

How do I connect MySQL to Sourcetable?

Connect your MySQL database to Sourcetable by clicking "Start connecting" and providing your database connection details (host, port, database name, username, password). Once connected, you can query tables, join data across tables, and create reports directly from your spreadsheet using natural language commands.

What can I do with the MySQL connector?

The MySQL connector lets you sync database tables, run complex queries with joins, analyze user behavior, track business metrics, monitor application performance, and automate reporting workflows. You can query your MySQL data using plain English and Sourcetable will generate the appropriate SQL queries automatically.

Can I analyze my MySQL database with AI?

Yes! You can analyze your MySQL data using plain English queries. Ask questions like "Show me monthly revenue trends by product category" or "Which customers have the highest lifetime value?" or "Create a chart of daily signups with conversion rates." Sourcetable's AI will query your database and create visualizations automatically.

Is my MySQL database secure with Sourcetable?

Yes. Sourcetable uses industry-standard encryption and security protocols to connect to your MySQL database. All connections support SSL/TLS encryption, and we support SSH tunneling for additional security. Your credentials are encrypted both in transit and at rest. You maintain full control over database access permissions and can use read-only credentials.

How often does my MySQL data sync with Sourcetable?

Your MySQL data syncs automatically when you open your spreadsheet or run a query. You can manually refresh at any time to get the latest records from your tables. For continuous monitoring, set up automated refresh schedules to keep your dashboards current with your production database, or query on-demand for real-time analysis whenever you need it.

How is this different from exporting MySQL data to Excel or CSV?

Unlike static CSV exports, Sourcetable connects directly to your live MySQL database. You can query current data using natural language without writing SQL, create dynamic dashboards that update automatically, and analyze trends across any time period instantly. No more downloading files, copying data between spreadsheets, or manually updating reports. Plus, you get AI-powered insights that would require complex formulas or pivot tables in Excel.

Can I access historical MySQL data from before I connected?

Yes! When you connect MySQL to Sourcetable, you can access all historical data stored in your database tables. Specify date ranges in your queries like "Show me all user signups from the past 2 years" or "Pull order data from 2023." You can query any data that exists in your MySQL database, regardless of when you created the Sourcetable connection.

How does Sourcetable replace my manual MySQL reporting workflows?

Instead of writing SQL queries, exporting results, and building spreadsheets manually, you can run any analysis instantly using plain English. Ask questions like "Show me top customers by revenue" or "Compare monthly active users to last quarter" and get answers in seconds. Save your most common queries as templates, share them with your team, and build dashboards that anyone can refresh with a click. This ad-hoc approach means you're never waiting for reports - you create insights on demand.

What data sources does Sourcetable support?

We currently support a variety of data file formats including spreadsheets (.xls, .xlsx, .csv), tabular data (.tsv), JSON, and database data (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB). We also support application data like Gmail and most plain text data. View all available connectors at sourcetable.com/connectors.

Can I generate data visualizations?

Yes! It's very easy to generate clean-looking data visualizations using Sourcetable. Simply prompt the AI to create a chart or graph. For MySQL data, you can create charts showing user trends, revenue analysis, performance metrics, conversion funnels, and more. All visualizations are downloadable and can be exported as interactive embeds.

What data science tools are available?

Sourcetable's AI analyzes and cleans data without you having to write code. Use Python, SQL, NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, Scikit-learn, StatsModels, Matplotlib, Plotly, and Seaborn to analyze your MySQL data and create insights.

Is this free?

Yes! Sourcetable's spreadsheet is free to use, just like Google Sheets. AI features have usage limits. Users can upgrade to the Pro plan for more credits.

Is there a discount for students, professors, or teachers?

Students and faculty receive a 50% discount on the Pro and Max plans. Email support@sourcetable.com to get your discount.

Is Sourcetable programmable?

Yes. Regular spreadsheet users have full A1 formula-style referencing at their disposal. Advanced users can make use of Sourcetable's SQL editor and GUI, or ask our AI to write Python code for you.
