Creating a MySQL Database
This page covers the configuration specific to MySQL — its Database Mode and any engine-specific settings shown below. The rest of the creation flow — opening the wizard, namespace and name, version, machine profile, storage, and optional features — is the same for every engine and is documented in Common Steps.
Database Mode
Select the topology under Database Mode. Available modes:
- Standalone — A single-node MySQL instance.
- GroupReplication — A MySQL Group Replication cluster. Choose a group Mode:
Single-PrimaryorMulti-Primary. - InnoDBCluster — A MySQL InnoDB Cluster fronted by MySQL Router. Choose
Single-PrimaryorMulti-Primary. - SemiSync — A semi-synchronous replication topology with configurable acknowledgement.
- RemoteReplica — A replica that streams from an external/primary MySQL.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Number of Replicas | Number of nodes in the cluster (e.g., 3). Required for clustered modes. |
| Mode (Group/InnoDB) | Single-Primary or Multi-Primary. |
| SemiSync | Source Wait For Replica Count, Source Timeout, and Errant Transaction Recovery Policy (Clone or PseudoTransaction). |
| Router (InnoDB) | MySQL Router instance count and resources. |
