Using the JDBC connection to Run aa select statement from Googlesheets
I have seen the following Apps script to run a select statement from Google Sheets.
// Replace the variables in this block with real values.
var address = 'database_IP_address';
var user = 'user_name';
var userPwd = 'user_password';
var db = 'database_name';
var dbUrl = 'jdbc:mysql://' + address + '/' + db;
// Read up to 1000 rows of data from the table and log them.
function readFromTable() {
var conn = Jdbc.getConnection(dbUrl, user, userPwd);
var start = new Date();
var stmt = conn.createStatement();
stmt.setMaxRows(1000);
var results = stmt.executeQuery('SELECT * FROM entries');
var numCols = results.getMetaData().getColumnCount();
while (results.next()) {
var rowString = '';
for (var col = 0; col < numCols; col++) {
rowString += results.getString(col + 1) + '\t';
}
Logger.log(rowString)
}
results.close();
stmt.close();
var end = new Date();
Logger.log('Time elapsed: %sms', end - start);
}
Is it possible to use this to make a connection to my database? I've successfully connected using the downloadable adbc driver and DBVisualiser but the preference would be to make the connection directly from Sheets.
Thanks.
