Cloud SQL Proxy client: a command-line tool that establishes the proxy connection and provides secure access to your instances. When the Cloud SQL Proxy client runs, you do not need to add your IP to authorized networks or configure SSL. You can read more about the Cloud SQL Proxy in this article at cloud.google.com. The connection is secured.
Within the framework of this topic, we are going to use a PostgreSQL instance on the Google Cloud Platform. But you can use the same instructions to connect to MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server instances of Google Cloud SQL.
If you have not created the instance yet, see Creating instances at cloud.google.com.
From DataGrip, you can connect to your instances by using the following options.
Cloud SQL Proxy client: a command-line tool that establishes the proxy connection and provides secure access to your instances. When the Cloud SQL Proxy client runs, you do not need to add your IP to authorized networks or configure SSL. You can read more about the Cloud SQL Proxy in this article at cloud.google.com.
The connection is secured. To connect to your instance, you need Google Cloud SDK and the Cloud SQL Proxy client.
Cloud SQL Connector for Java: libraries for JDBC drivers by using which you can connect securely to Cloud SQL databases. These libraries are available on the Release page of the cloud-sql-jdbc-socket-factory repository at github.com.
The connection is secured. To connect to your instance, you need Google Cloud SDK and the JAR library file of the Cloud SQL Connector for Java.
Adding your network to authorized networks: adding your network to the list of authorized sources in the Google Cloud Console. After this procedure, you can connect to the PostgreSQL instance from your network by using the IP address of your instance.
The connection is not secured (no encryption). To connect to your instance, you need to add your IP address or a range of IP addresses to authorized networks.
Configuring Google Cloud SDK
This configuration procedure is common for the Cloud SQL Proxy client and the Cloud SQL Connector for Java. If you plan to add your network to the list of authorized networks, you can skip this part.
To complete the connection's configuration, you need Google Cloud SDK.
Google Cloud SDK includes the gcloud utility that manages authentication and interactions with the Google Cloud Platform API. For more information about gcloud, see the gcloud reference at cloud.google.com.
Step 1. Installing Google Cloud SDK
For more information about the installation process, see the Installing Google Cloud SDK guide at cloud.google.com. This procedure provides a summary of steps from the guide.
Download and extract the Google Cloud SDK archive.
Run the
gcloud init
command to initialize the SDK. Follow the installation wizard in the command prompt.
Step 2. Register your application for the Cloud SQL Admin API
Click the Enable the API button in the Enable the Cloud SQL Admin API section.
Select your project in the drop-down list and click Continue.
You must enable the Cloud SQL Admin API for each database project if you want to connect to the database in this project. For example, one project uses PostgreSQL, another project uses MySQL. You need to enable the API for both projects.
Step 3. Configure authentication
Run the following command to authenticate the
gcloud
tool.gcloud auth loginThis command obtains your credentials and stores them in ~/.config/gcloud/. Now you can run
gcloud
commands from your terminal, and it will find your credentials automatically.Run the following command to obtain credentials for the Application Default Credentials (ADC) library.
This command obtains your credentials for the ADC library. Now, any code or SDK that is running on your computer will be able to find the credentials automatically.
Configuring connections with the Cloud SQL Proxy client
Ensure that you have correctly configured Google Cloud SDK: initialized the gcloud
tool; enabled the Cloud SQL Admin API; authenticated the gcloud tool; acquired credentials for the ADC library.
The Cloud SQL Proxy client communicates with your database through a secure tunnel. Read more about the client in About the Cloud SQL Proxy at cloud.google.com.
Step 1. Run the Cloud SQL Proxy client
Download the Cloud SQL Proxy client. See installation instructions in Install the Cloud SQL Proxy client on your local machine at cloud.google.com.
Start the proxy in the command prompt.
./cloud_sql_proxy -instances=connection_name=tcp:3306Replace the
connection_name
with the connection name of your instance. You can find this information on the Overview page of your instance. If the3306
port is already in use, change it to another port (for example, 5435).
Step 2. Create a data source
Ensure that the Cloud SQL Proxy client is running (see Step 1 ).
Open data source properties. You can open data source properties by using one of the following options:
Navigate to File | Data Sources.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S.
In the Database tool window (View | Tool Windows | Database ), click the Data Source Properties icon .
In the Data Sources and Drivers dialog, click the Add icon () and select your database vendor (in our case, PostgreSQL ).
At the bottom of the data source settings area, click the Download missing driver files link. As you click this link, DataGrip downloads drivers that are required to interact with a database. To decrease the size of the installation package and keep driver versions up-to-date, drivers are not bundled with the IDE.
You can specify your own drivers for the data source if you do not want to download the provided drivers. For more information about creating a database connection with your driver, see Add a user driver to an existing connection.
From the Authentication list, select User & Password.
Specify connection details.
Host:
127.0.0.1
. You are connecting to a local machine because you use the Cloud SQL Proxy client.Port:
3306
, or any other port that you selected for the proxy (for example,5435
).User: a user who has permission to access the database.
Password: password of a user.
Database: a database to which you want to connect.
To ensure that the connection to the data source is successful, click the Test Connection link.
Configuring connections with the Cloud SQL Connector for Java
Ensure that you have correctly configured Google Cloud SDK: initialized the gcloud
tool; enabled the Cloud SQL Admin API; authenticated the gcloud tool; acquired credentials for the ADC library.
The Cloud SQL Connector for Java is a set of libraries for MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and PostgreSQL JDBC drivers by using which you can connect to a Cloud SQL database without adding your IP to the list of authorized networks or SSL certificates. Libraries of the Cloud SQL Connector for Java are distributed as a source code on github.com. You can build this source code by using Maven or download the built JAR file from the Release page.
To build all libraries with Maven, clone the cloud-sql-jdbc-socket-factory repository, and run the following command from the cloned repository directory.

Create a Connection to Google Sheets Data
Follow the steps below to add credentials and other required connection properties.
- In the Databases menu, click New Connection.
- In the Create new connection wizard that results, select the driver.
- On the next page of the wizard, click the driver properties tab.
Enter values for authentication credentials and other properties required to connect to Google Sheets.
You can connect to a spreadsheet by providing authentication to Google and then setting the Spreadsheet connection property to the name or feed link of the spreadsheet. If you want to view a list of information about the spreadsheets in your Google Drive, execute a query to the Spreadsheets view after you authenticate.
ClientLogin (username/password authentication) has been officially deprecated since April 20, 2012 and is now no longer available. Instead, use the OAuth 2.0 authentication standard. To access Google APIs on behalf on individual users, you can use the embedded credentials or you can register your own OAuth app.
OAuth also enables you to use a service account to connect on behalf of users in a Google Apps domain. To authenticate with a service account, you will need to register an application to obtain the OAuth JWT values.
See the Getting Started chapter in the help documentation to connect to Google Sheets from different types of accounts: Google accounts, Google Apps accounts, and accounts using two-step verification.
Built-in Connection String Designer
For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Google Sheets JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.
java -jar cdata.jdbc.googlesheets.jar
Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.
Below is a typical connection string:
jdbc:googlesheets:Spreadsheet=MySheet;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH
Query Google Sheets Data
You can now query information from the tables exposed by the connection: Right-click a Table and then click Edit Table. The data is available on the Data tab.
