One of App Engine’s most requested features has been a simple way to develop traditional database-driven applications. In response to your feedback, we’re happy to announce the limited preview of Google Cloud SQL. You can now choose to power your App Engine applications with a familiar relational database in a fully-managed cloud environment. This allows you to focus on developing your applications and services, free from the chores of managing, maintaining and administering relational databases. Google Cloud SQL brings many benefits to the App Engine community:
- No maintenance or administration - we manage the database for you.
- High reliability and availability - your data is replicated synchronously to multiple data centers. Machine, rack and data center failures are handled automatically to minimize end-user impact.
- Familiar MySQL database environment with JDBC support (for Java-based App Engine applications) and DB-API support (for Python-based App Engine applications).
- Comprehensive user interface for administering databases.
- Simple and powerful integration with Google App Engine.

How does this compare to the hrd? I assume there are some scalability tradeoffs due to the relational model.
Does this mean the full Django framework could now be used in the App Engine? Lack of a relational DB has been one of the stumbling blocks.
Great, go Google!
Does this mean people with Wordpress sites could conceivably host their db on Google so our data can be stored in our Google account? If so, what are the price indicators
Hi,
Can we use connect to Google Cloud SQL (MySQL) from our local network? For example, can we connect to Cloud from an on-site .NET application?
would you update your sdk and plugin eclipse to make development work locally with gwt and sql?
Super excited about this! Can't wait to see the pricing structure though, that will make or break this for me.
Great, can we get PHP now? Because that's been the #1 requested feature for years. SQL wasn't even on the list.
@SystemPlanet.com: It's pure relational database, just like your locally hosted MySQL server.
Sweet. Now next stop: Have a CouchDB :-)
Aftermath, you already have PHP. Haven't you heard of Quercus? It's actually far better (more secure, stable, scalable, and performing) than the classic PHP interpreter.
Look here and here for details on running it on App Engine.
This could be very handy for my nonprofit clients, especially because they are already using cloud storage for their documents. Brad
Does it open way to Hibernate and other tools operate integrated with GAE?
Does this mean I can host my own website in the cloud?
So, when will we get Postgres? ;)
Excellent...
Excellent
I am no genius, but I see MAMP as a means to run PHP on the GAE. MAMP is a server thing that can be run on an OSX Desktop to test run PHP stuff like WordPress. If it will work on a Mac, I bet my ear hairs it will work in the Cloud. Just Google ' MAMP ', they have a Pro & Free bundle to download. Also, if anybody really knows how to use this xCode thing, it seems to be successful in digesting about any program I slip into it, and spitting it out as another in a different language if I need it. If I can do it, anybody savvy in this can!!! Really excited about all this; I was just fixing to dump money into AWS 100%. Now I can have an option. Cool stuff!
