The compatibility of Cloud SQL with relational database infrastructure revolves around three engines, which include MySQL by Oracle, PostgreSQL by Global Development Group, and SQL Server by Microsoft. Along with offering support and compatibility, Cloud SQL can also be a preferable alternative to all of these relational database engines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case you intend to spend less time on managing the database and spend more of that time upon using it.

You can direct your attention and focus towards Cloud SQL and handle the necessary operations. Cloud SQL looks after network connectivity, high availability, backups, failovers, import &amp; export, monitoring, logging, maintenance, and updates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of these services altogether make Cloud SQL a considerable database management service of Google Cloud. But, you should keep in mind that Cloud SQL is not a database administration service or tool. It is because the administration tool for the database serves a different purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Check out <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/google-cloud-sql-deep-dive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Cloud SQL-Deep Dive Certification<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The business continuity is assured with the integration of Cloud SQL, with secure and reliable services that are backed by an SRE team 24\/7.
