Write to Percona	Percona	Use [`sql.to()`](/flux/v0/stdlib/sql/to/) with the `mysql` driver to write data to Percona.	flux_v0 name parent identifier Percona write-to-sql write-percona	101	/flux/v0/stdlib/sql/to/	```js import "sql" data |> sql.to( driverName: "mysql", dataSourceName: "user:password@tcp(localhost:3306)/db", table: "example_table", ) ```

To write data to Percona with Flux:

1. Import the sql package.

2. Pipe-forward data into sql.to() and provide the following parameters:

   • driverName: mysql
   • dataSourceName: See data source name
   • table: Table to write to
   • batchSize: Number of parameters or columns that can be queued within each call to Exec (default is 10000)

import "sql"
  
data
    |> sql.to(
        driverName: "mysql",
        dataSourceName: "user:password@tcp(localhost:3306)/db",
        table: "example_table",
    )

Percona 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

Flux to Percona data type conversion

sql.to() converts Flux data types to Percona data types.

Flux data type	Percona data type
float	FLOAT
int	BIGINT
uint	BIGINT
string	TEXT(16383)
bool	BOOL (TINYINT)
time	DATETIME

Percona BOOL types

BOOL is a synonym supplied by Percona for convenience. Percona stores BOOL values as TINYINT types so looking at the schema shows the column type as TINYINT. {{% /note %}}
