Cloud SQL Socket Factory for JDBC drivers

The Cloud SQL Socket Factory is a library for the MySQL/Postgres JDBC drivers that allows a user with the appropriate permissions to connect to a Cloud SQL database without having to deal with IP whitelisting or SSL certificates manually.

Instructions

Examples

For examples of this library being used in the context of an application, check out the sample applications located here.

Authentication

This library uses the Application Default Credentials to authenticate the connection to the Cloud SQL server. For more details, see the previously mentioned link.

To activate credentials locally, use the following gcloud command:

gcloud auth application-default login

Add library as a dependency

MySQL

Note: Use your JDBC driver version to figure out which SocketFactory you should use. If you are unsure, it is recommended to use the latest version of mysql-connector-java:8.x.

JDBC Driver Version	Cloud SQL Socket Factory Version
mysql-connector-java:8.x	mysql-socket-factory-connector-j-8:1.0.13
mysql-connector-java:6.x	mysql-socket-factory-connector-j-6:1.0.13
mysql-connector-java:5.1.x	mysql-socket-factory:1.0.13

Maven

Include the following in the project's pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.cloud.sql</groupId>
    <artifactId>mysql-socket-factory-connector-j-8</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.13</version>
</dependency>

Gradle

Include the following the project's gradle.build

compile 'com.google.cloud.sql:mysql-socket-factory-connector-j-8:1.0.13'

PostgreSQL

Maven

Include the following in the project's pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.cloud.sql</groupId>
    <artifactId>postgres-socket-factory</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.13</version>
</dependency>

Gradle

Include the following the project's gradle.build

compile 'com.google.cloud.sql:postgres-socket-factory:1.0.13'

Creating the JDBC URL

MySQL

Base JDBC url: jdbc:mysql://google/<DATABASE_NAME>

When specifying the JDBC connection URL, add the additional parameters:

Property	Value
socketFactory	com.google.cloud.sql.mysql.SocketFactory
cloudSqlInstance	The instance connection name (found on the instance details page)
useSSL	False
user	MySQL username
password	MySQL user's password

The full JDBC url should look like this:

jdbc:mysql://google/<DATABASE_NAME>?cloudSqlInstance=<INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME>&socketFactory=com.google.cloud.sql.mysql.SocketFactory&useSSL=false&user=<MYSQL_USER_NAME>&password=<MYSQL_USER_PASSWORD>

Postgres

Base JDBC url: jdbc:postgres://google/<DATABASE_NAME>

When specifying the JDBC connection URL, add the additional parameters:

Property	Value
socketFactory	com.google.cloud.sql.postgres.SocketFactory
cloudSqlInstance	The instance connection name (found on the instance details page)
user	Postgres username
password	Postgres user's password

The full JDBC url should look like this:

jdbc:postgresql://google/<DATABASE_NAME>?cloudSqlInstance=<INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME>&socketFactory=com.google.cloud.sql.postgres.SocketFactory&user=<POSTGRESQL_USER_NAME>&password=<POSTGRESQL_USER_PASSWORD>

Additional Information

Specifying IP Types

The ipTypes argument can be used to specify a comma delimited list of preferred IP types for connecting to a Cloud SQL instance. The argument ipTypes=PRIVATE will force the SocketFactory to connect with an instance's associated private IP. Default value is PUBLIC,PRIVATE.

Firewall configuration

The Cloud SQL proxy establishes connections to Cloud SQL instances using port 3307. Applications that are protected by a firewall may need to be configured to allow outgoing connections on TCP port 3307. A connection blocked by a firewall typically results in an error stating connection failure (e.g. com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure).

Connect with IntelliJ

In order to connect IntelliJ to your Cloud SQL instance, you will need to add this library as a jar with dependencies in "Additional Files" section on the driver settings page. Prebuilt fat jars can be found on the Releases page for this purpose.

Connection via Unix Sockets

The library will automatically detect when it is running on GAE Standard, and will connect via the provided unix socket for reduced latency.

To force the library to connect to a unix socket (typically created by the Cloud SQL proxy) when running outside of the GAE-Standard environment, set the environment variable CLOUD_SQL_FORCE_UNIX_SOCKET to any value.
