# harlequin-mysql This repo provides the Harlequin adapter for MySQL. ## Installation `harlequin-mysql` depends on `harlequin`, so installing this package will also install Harlequin. ### Using pip To install this adapter into an activated virtual environment: ```bash pip install harlequin-mysql ``` ### Using poetry ```bash poetry add harlequin-mysql ``` ### Using pipx If you do not already have Harlequin installed: ```bash pip install harlequin-mysql ``` If you would like to add the Postgres adapter to an existing Harlequin installation: ```bash pipx inject harlequin harlequin-mysql ``` ### As an Extra Alternatively, you can install Harlequin with the `mysql` extra: ```bash pip install harlequin[mysql] ``` ```bash poetry add harlequin[mysql] ``` ```bash pipx install harlequin[mysql] ``` ## Usage and Configuration You can open Harlequin with the MySQL adapter by selecting it with the `-a` option and passing connection parameters as CLI options: ```bash harlequin -a mysql -h localhost -p 3306 -U root --password example --database dev ``` The MySQL adapter does not accept a connection string or DSN. Many more options are available; to see the full list, run: ```bash harlequin --help ``` For more information, see the [Harlequin Docs](https://harlequin.sh/docs/mysql/index).
