TiDB

TiDB is generally available in the DataSquares connection wizard. MySQL wire-compatible — connect like MySQL.

  1. In DataSquares, open Data Sources and choose Add data source.

  2. Pick TiDB in the connector picker (search or browse by category).

  3. Fill in the connection details below, then test the connection and save.

Field What to enter
Host The hostname or IP address of your TiDB server.
Port Prefilled with 4000 (the TiDB default) — change it if your server listens elsewhere.
Database The database to connect to.
Username / Password Credentials for a user with read access to the tables you want to analyze.
TLS Enable if your server requires an encrypted connection.

Grant the connection user read-only access — DataSquares only ever reads from your source.
