The gcloud CLI is used to interface with the instance. This tool comes pre-installed in the web console shell.

Use this command to connect to the instance:

gcloud sql connect InstanceIdHere \ --user=root
 
You should see a prompt similar to the following:
MySQL [(none)]
 

Using the SQL instance

Within theMySQLprompt, run the following:

  1. Create database and table

    sql CREATE DATABASE geography; USE geography; CREATE TABLE cities (city VARCHAR(255), country VARCHAR(255));

  2. Insert data

    sql INSERT INTO cities (city, country) values ("San Francisco", "USA"); INSERT INTO cities (city, country) values ("Beijing", "China");

  3. Query

    sql SELECT * FROM cities;

    You should see the following query results:

    SELECT * FROM cities; +---------------+---------+ +---------------+---------+ +---------------+---------+
