Query MariaDB	MariaDB	Use [`sql.from()`](/flux/v0/stdlib/sql/from/) with the `mysql` driver to query MariaDB.	flux_v0 name parent MariaDB SQL databases	101	/flux/v0/stdlib/sql/from/	```js import "sql" sql.from( driverName: "mysql", dataSourceName: "user:password@tcp(localhost:3306)/db", query: "SELECT * FROM example_table", ) ```

To query MariaDB with Flux:

1. Import the sql package.

2. Use sql.from() and provide the following parameters:

   • driverName: mysql
   • dataSourceName: See data source name
   • query: SQL query to execute

import "sql"

sql.from(
    driverName: "mysql",
    dataSourceName: "user:password@tcp(localhost:3306)/db",
    query: "SELECT * FROM example_table",
)

MariaDB data source name

The mysql driver uses the following data source name (DSN) syntax (also known as a connection string):

username:password@tcp(localhost:3306)/dbname?param=value

MariaDB to Flux data type conversion

sql.from() converts MariaDB data types to Flux data types.

MariaDB data type	Flux data type
INT, BIGINT, SMALLINT, TINYINT	int
FLOAT, DOUBLE	float
DATETIME	time
STRING	string
