    How It Works

    Scope MySQL, inspect the plan, and publish governed answers

    1

    Connect Your MySQL Database

    Provide your MySQL connection details (host, port, database, user, password). Supports MySQL, MariaDB, Amazon RDS MySQL, Aurora MySQL, Azure MySQL, and self-hosted instances. SSL connections supported.

    2

    AI Learns Your Schema

    Answerplane analyzes your MySQL database structure including tables, columns, indexes, foreign keys, and relationships. This keeps answer plans source-aware.

    3

    Inspect the MySQL Plan

    Ask 'Show me orders from last week' or 'Which products are low on stock?' Then inspect the generated MySQL SQL, source path, and result before saving or embedding.

    MySQL-Specific Features

    Optimized for MySQL's unique capabilities

    01

    MySQL & MariaDB Compatible

    Full support for MySQL 5.7+, MySQL 8.0+, MariaDB, Amazon Aurora MySQL, and Google Cloud SQL MySQL. Handles MySQL-specific syntax and functions.

    02

    Optimized Query Generation

    Builds efficient MySQL queries with proper JOINs, indexes, and WHERE clauses. Optimizer-aware plans stay visible before teams publish an answer.

    03

    Automatic Schema Detection

    Introspects tables, columns, data types, indexes, foreign keys, and constraints. Schema knowledge keeps generated SQL aligned with the real source.

    04

    JSON Column Support

    Plan governed answers over MySQL JSON columns. Supports JSON_EXTRACT, JSON_CONTAINS, and other MySQL JSON functions in reviewable SQL.

    1

    "Show me top 5 customers by order count"

    SELECT
      c.customer_name,
      COUNT(o.order_id) AS order_count,
      SUM(o.order_total) AS total_spent
    FROM customers c
    JOIN orders o ON c.customer_id = o.customer_id
    GROUP BY c.customer_id, c.customer_name
    ORDER BY order_count DESC
    LIMIT 5;

    Explanation: JOIN with aggregation and LIMIT for top N results

    2

    "Find products added in the last 30 days"

    SELECT product_name, category, price, created_at
    FROM products
    WHERE created_at >= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 30 DAY)
    ORDER BY created_at DESC;

    Explanation: Uses MySQL DATE_SUB and NOW() for date filtering

    3

    "What's the revenue breakdown by category?"

    SELECT
      p.category,
      COUNT(DISTINCT o.order_id) AS order_count,
      SUM(oi.quantity * oi.unit_price) AS total_revenue,
      AVG(oi.quantity * oi.unit_price) AS avg_order_value
    FROM order_items oi
    JOIN orders o ON oi.order_id = o.order_id
    JOIN products p ON oi.product_id = p.product_id
    GROUP BY p.category
    ORDER BY total_revenue DESC;

    Explanation: Multi-table JOIN with aggregations across related tables

    "Show monthly sales growth percentage"

    SELECT
      DATE_FORMAT(order_date, '%Y-%m') AS month,
      SUM(order_total) AS monthly_revenue,
      LAG(SUM(order_total)) OVER (ORDER BY DATE_FORMAT(order_date, '%Y-%m')) AS prev_month_revenue,
      ROUND(
        (SUM(order_total) - LAG(SUM(order_total)) OVER (ORDER BY DATE_FORMAT(order_date, '%Y-%m')))
        / LAG(SUM(order_total)) OVER (ORDER BY DATE_FORMAT(order_date, '%Y-%m')) * 100,
        2
      ) AS growth_pct
    FROM orders
    GROUP BY DATE_FORMAT(order_date, '%Y-%m')
    ORDER BY month;

    Explanation: Window function LAG() for period-over-period comparison

    "Find customers who haven't ordered in 90 days"

    SELECT
      c.customer_id,
      c.customer_name,
      c.email,
      MAX(o.order_date) AS last_order_date,
      DATEDIFF(NOW(), MAX(o.order_date)) AS days_since_order
    FROM customers c
    LEFT JOIN orders o ON c.customer_id = o.customer_id
    GROUP BY c.customer_id, c.customer_name, c.email
    HAVING DATEDIFF(NOW(), MAX(o.order_date)) > 90 OR MAX(o.order_date) IS NULL;

    Explanation: LEFT JOIN with HAVING clause to find inactive customers

    "Get products with JSON metadata containing specific tags"

    SELECT
      product_name,
      price,
      metadata
    FROM products
    WHERE JSON_CONTAINS(metadata, '"eco-friendly"', '$.tags')
    ORDER BY price DESC;

    Explanation: MySQL JSON_CONTAINS for querying JSON columns

    These are just a few examples. Answerplane keeps the plan, query, and provenance visible before teams save or embed an answer.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Everything you need to know about using Answerplane with MySQL

    How do I connect my MySQL database?+

    Go to Settings > Databases > Add Database, select MySQL, and provide connection details (host, port, database, username, password). You can also use MySQL connection URLs like mysql://user:pass@host:3306/database. We recommend creating a dedicated read-only user.

    Does Answerplane work with MariaDB?+

    Yes! Answerplane is fully compatible with MariaDB since it maintains MySQL protocol compatibility. Simply select MySQL as the database type when connecting.

    Can I use Answerplane with Amazon RDS MySQL or Aurora?+

    Absolutely. Answerplane supports Amazon RDS MySQL, Amazon Aurora MySQL, as well as Azure Database for MySQL, Google Cloud SQL MySQL, and self-hosted MySQL instances.

    What MySQL versions are supported?+

    Answerplane supports MySQL 5.7, MySQL 8.0, and newer versions, as well as MariaDB 10.x. We automatically detect version-specific features and generate appropriate queries.

    Can Answerplane query MySQL JSON columns?+

    Yes. Answerplane understands MySQL JSON data types and can build reviewable queries using JSON_EXTRACT, JSON_CONTAINS, JSON_SEARCH, and other MySQL JSON functions.

    How does Answerplane handle MySQL foreign keys?+

    Live schema context detects foreign key relationships. When questions span multiple tables, the planner builds reviewable JOIN plans using these relationships.

    Is my MySQL data secure?+

    Yes. We enforce read-only access, encrypt credentials at rest, and rely on your source permissions as the system of record. We do not ingest or replicate source contents wholesale; saved chats, dashboards, exports, uploads, and materialized artifacts are retained only when you use those features.

    Can I use Answerplane for MySQL analytics?+

    Definitely! Answerplane excels at generating analytics queries with aggregations (SUM, AVG, COUNT, MIN, MAX), GROUP BY, window functions (MySQL 8.0+), and date/time functions. Perfect for dashboards and reporting.

    What happens if my query takes too long?+

    We enforce query timeouts (default 30 seconds, configurable) to prevent long-running queries from impacting your database. If a query times out, Answerplane will suggest ways to optimize it.

    Does Answerplane support MySQL stored procedures?+

    Answerplane currently focuses on SELECT queries. Stored procedure execution is not supported as it requires write access. However, you can query tables and views that stored procedures might populate.
