How to migrate an MySQL database to Cloud SQL

MySQL is a database management system. A database is a collection of data. It can be anything from a simple grocery list to a picture gallery or the vast amounts of information in a corporate network. Its development process focuses on offering a very efficient implementation of the features most people need. This means that MySQL still has fewer features than its chief open-source competitor, PostgreSQL, or the commercial database engines.
