How to Query Redis Data in MySQL Workbench


Execute MySQL queries against live Redis data from MySQL Workbench.

You can use the SQL Gateway from the ODBC Driver for Redis to query Redis data through a MySQL interface. Follow the procedure below to start the MySQL remoting service of the SQL Gateway and work with live Redis data in MySQL Workbench.

Connect to Redis Data

If you have not already done so, provide values for the required connection properties in the data source name (DSN). You can use the built-in Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to configure the DSN. This is also the last step of the driver installation. See the "Getting Started" chapter in the help documentation for a guide to using the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure a DSN.

Set the following connection properties to connect to a Redis instance:

  • Server: Set this to the name or address of the server your Redis instance is running on. You can specify the port in Port.
  • Password: Set this to the password used to authenticate with a password-protected Redis instance , using the Redis AUTH command.

Set UseSSL to negotiate SSL/TLS encryption when you connect.

Configure the SQL Gateway

See the SQL Gateway Overview to set up connectivity to Redis data as a virtual MySQL database. You will configure a MySQL remoting service that listens for MySQL requests from clients. The service can be configured in the SQL Gateway UI.
