Overview
What is MariaDB: MariaDB Server is one of the most popular open source relational databases. By connecting MariaDB to Datagrid, you can seamlessly integrate your database information with other business-critical data, enabling enhanced reporting, analytics, and decision-making.
How to Integrate MariaDB with Datagrid
Integrating MariaDB with Datagrid includes the following steps:
Prerequisites
To configure the MariaDB integration, follow these steps:
A MariaDB database server with the necessary databases and tables.
MariaDB username and password with appropriate privileges.
Ensure that your MariaDB instance allows connections from Datagrid's IP addresses. You may need to configure the firewall rules accordingly.
Select the data you want to import into Datagrid
Connect
Creating a dataset from the MariaDB integration involves selecting the specific data you want to import:
Connect MariaDB App:
a. Click on the "+ Create” Button on the top left of the screen. b. Select the "Connect Apps" item. c. Search for the MariaDB integration from the list. d. Enter your MariaDB instance details, including server name, database name, username, and password. e. Click on the “Next” button.
Pick your Data
a. Pick the MariaDB data you want to include in your dataset (e.g., Tables, Views, Stored Procedures). b. Click on the “Start First Import” Button to start syncing your MariaDB dataset.
Set Up a Schedule
Scheduling regular data pulls ensures your Datagrid datasets remain up-to-date with the latest information from MariaDB:
Navigate to MariaDB Dataset
a. Go to the left side panel and locate and click on the MariaDB dataset you created.
Schedule Settings
a. Click on the “...” on the top right of the dataset. b. Click on “Edit Pipeline” to edit your integration's name. c. Click the “Schedule” button on the right, beside the “Import Configuration” button.
Configure Schedule
a. Set the desired frequency for data pulls (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly). b. Specify the time of day for the data pull to occur. c. Specify downtime if needed – when the sync should not happen. d. Click the “Update” button to update the new configuration.

Why use MariaDB with Datagrid
MariaDB stores operational records that teams often need to compare, validate, and route across other business systems. Here’s why you need to use MariaDB with Datagrid integration:
AI agents act on live database records: Datagrid's AI agents read MariaDB tables and views directly, then cross-reference records against data from other connected systems without manual export.
Automated data quality checks: Datagrid's AI agents monitor imported MariaDB data for anomalies, missing fields, and duplicate records, then flag or quarantine issues before they reach downstream reports.
Scheduled, hands-off synchronization: Configure daily, weekly, or monthly imports with downtime windows so MariaDB data stays current in Datagrid without manual triggers.
Cross-system workflow execution: When a record changes in MariaDB, Datagrid's AI agents can trigger actions in other connected platforms, such as updating a record or generating a report in another system.
Broad database object coverage: Import tables, views, stored procedures, functions, users, and databases, giving Datagrid's AI agents context about your data structure and business logic.
What you can build with MariaDB Datagrid integration
The examples below show how project teams and operations leaders can use imported MariaDB data inside Datagrid.
Business Intelligence: Import data from MariaDB into Datagrid to create dashboards and reports that provide insights into key business metrics.
Data Analysis: Analyze data from MariaDB in Datagrid to identify trends, patterns, and anomalies.
Application Development: Use Datagrid to access and transform data from MariaDB for use in custom applications.
Data Migration: Migrate data from MariaDB to other data sources using Datagrid's data integration capabilities.
E-commerce Platforms: Many e-commerce platforms rely on MariaDB databases for storing product catalogs, customer information, and order details.
Content Management Systems (CMS): WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla are popular CMS platforms that often use MariaDB as their underlying database.
