Build a CRUD tool for MySQL
Connect MySQL to Retool in minutes and build a simple application to Create, Read, Update, and Delete data.
Connect to MySQL in minutes
Retool connects directly to your MySQL database (via a connection string or regular credentials) and lets you run raw SQL (or issue commands via a GUI) to manage the data in your MySQL tables. For example, you can render users from MySQL into a Table component and add a button that, when clicked, runs an SQL query and marks that user as approved.
Build apps on top of your MySQL database
Query your MySQL database or use Retool's GUI wrapper to safely write, update, and delete without accidentally dropping tables. You can also inspect your schema, save and share queries, and run ad hoc analyses quickly.
Build with 50+ drag-and-drop components
Access our library of 50+ pre-built UI components packed with functionality like tables, buttons, and text inputs. Skip the headache of searching for the right front-end templates and build your app in minutes.
