  • Add MySQL connector (test, query execution, schema extraction) with mysql2 driver
  • Add dbt-compatible badge and "show dbt-compatible only" filter on connections
  • Exclude MySQL/SQLite from dbt-compatible connections and project linkage

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added MySQL as a supported connection type with configurable host, port, database, schema, credentials, and SSL.
    • Added connection creation, editing, testing, querying, and schema extraction for MySQL.
    • Added MySQL visibility across connection lists, project setup, and local pipeline workflows.
    • Added MySQL JDBC URL generation and environment configuration for supported processes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds MySQL support across backend connection handling, schema extraction, renderer connection management, runtime environment setup, JDBC generation, and connection selection. It adds the mysql2 dependency and Jest module mocks.

Changes

MySQL backend and schema extraction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Connection types and runtime operations
package.json, src/types/backend.ts, src/main/utils/connectors.ts, src/main/services/connectors.service.ts, src/main/utils/yamlPartialUpdate.ts, tests/unit/*
MySQL connection types, driver operations, connectivity testing, query execution, cancellation, result mapping, validation, JDBC URLs, and Jest mocks are added.
MySQL schema extraction
src/main/extractor/*, src/main/services/projects.service.ts, src/main/services/connectors.service.ts
MySqlExtractor connects to MySQL, queries information_schema, maps columns, tables, and views, and routes schema extraction through MySQL-specific handling.

Renderer integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
MySQL connection configuration UI
src/renderer/components/connections/*, src/renderer/screens/addConnection/*, src/renderer/screens/editConnection/*, src/renderer/screens/connections/*, src/renderer/components/connectionCards/*, src/renderer/components/sidebar/*
The renderer adds MySQL creation and editing forms, secure credential loading, connection testing, save flows, MySQL labels and colors, connection registration, and dbt compatibility indicators.
Environment and compatibility wiring
src/renderer/context/*, src/renderer/helpers/utils.ts, src/renderer/hooks/*, src/renderer/screens/selectProject/*
MySQL host, port, database, and schema fields are mapped into connection inputs and runtime environment variables. Project connection selection uses canUseAsDbtConnection filtering.

🟠 Major · Reject MySQL for project-scoped connections. · connectors.service.ts:565-567

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Reject MySQL for project-scoped connections.

canUseAsDbtConnection('mysql') returns false, but this guard rejects only SQLite. The project connection UI can still submit MySQL. configureConnection then saves the connection and project link before loadConfigurations() reaches the unsupported MySQL path in mapToDbtConnection. Use canUseAsDbtConnection(connection.type) in this guard.

Proposed fix
-    if (projectIndex !== -1 && connection.type === 'sqlite') {
-      throw new Error('SQLite connections cannot be used by dbt projects');
+    if (
+      projectIndex !== -1 &&
+      !canUseAsDbtConnection(connection.type)
+    ) {
+      throw new Error(
+        `${connection.type} connections cannot be used by dbt projects`,
+      );
     }

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Disconnect when schema extraction fails.

If extractSchema() rejects, execution skips disconnect(). Repeated failed extraction attempts can leave MySQL sockets open. Put extraction in a try block and call disconnect() in finally.

Based on learnings: connection-based databases require explicit cleanup.

Both paths set rejectUnauthorized: false. An attacker who can intercept an SSL-enabled MySQL connection can impersonate the server and receive credentials or query data.

Exclude MySQL from project connection choices.

When projectId is set and the dbt-compatible toggle is off, this condition still includes MySQL. The MySQL form receives projectId, and configureConnection currently rejects only SQLite before linking the connection to the project.

Use canUseAsDbtConnection for the project filter. Keep the backend validation in configureConnection aligned with the same dbt-compatibility rule.

Proposed UI fix
-          (!projectId || item.id !== 'sqlite') &&
+          (!projectId || canUseAsDbtConnection(item.id)) &&
