Recently (earlier today), I blogged about how to use PHPMyAdmin with a MDS instance. I also showed at the end of the video that it’s possible to open MySQL Router on the compute instance to connect from anywhere. However this has security risks of course. Therefor, it’s not recommended.

If you want to connect from on-premise to your MDS instance you should use a VPN or a SSH tunnel. Take a look at these previous post:

• https://lefred.be/content/migrate-from-on-premise-mysql-to-mysql-database-service/
• …

In a recent article, I explained how to test MySQL Database Service (aka MDS) on OCI without having to setup a VPN.

A VPN is the recommended way and of course using some man-in-the-middle exposing the MySQL Classic and X Protocol port is something you should absolutely avoid !

So, in this article we will see another way to test or use MDS without VPN but using a more secure option.

SSH

The solution uses a SSH tunnel between your machine (laptop, etc..) and OCI.

How does it work ?

We have a MDS instance (10.0.1.3), and a compute instance (10.0.0.2). The compute instance is in the public subnet and has a public IP assigned to it.

Then we open a SSH tunnel to the compute instance’s public IP that forward all traffic to a certain port on localhost (we will use 3406) …

Starting with version 8.0.18 the MySQL Workbench source package finally ships also all our GPL unit and integration tests, which we are using internally to control code quality. For that we had first to replace our old, outdated testing framework by something new and more appropriate. We evaluated quite a few C++ testing frameworks but found them either not to be sufficient or difficult to use. Instead we had something in mind that comes close to the Jasmine framework which is widely used among JS developers. The way it hides all the boring test management details and the clear structure it uses, was quite an inspiration for us and we decided to develop our own testing framework modeled after that.
