What Adea reads from MySQL

  • Orders, customers and products as your own tables hold them
  • Counts and totals, read with plain SELECT queries
  • A read replica if you have one, so live traffic is unaffected

Questions about MySQL

How does Adea connect to MySQL?

You create a user with read rights only and give Adea the details. Adea checks that the user cannot write, and connects from fixed addresses you can allow in your firewall.

Does Adea ever write to my database?

Never. It only reads, and it refuses to connect with a user that could write.

Can I limit what Adea reads?

Yes. You decide which tables and views the user can see, and Adea only reads inside that.
