MySQL Writeback Connector
Intro
Use this connector to export your data from a Domo DataSet to a MySQL database. To learn more about MySQL, visit their website at https://www.mysql.com/.
You export data to a MySQL database in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the MySQL Database Writeback connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
