➤ Google Cloud SQL is a fully managed relational database

service for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL server.
➤ Cloud SQL is fully compatible with applications using
MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server. You can connect with
nearly any application, anywhere in the world.
➤ Cloud SQL automates - Backups, Replication, and failover to
ensure your database is reliable, highly available, and flexible
to your performance needs.
➤ Easy integration with your workstation, as well as App
Engine, Compute Engine, Kubernetes, and BigQuery

➤ Features Of Cloud SQL: 

➤ Google Cloud SQL is fully managed by Google.
➤ Uses open source databases that are among the most popular
ones worldwide, i.e., MySQL databases.
➤ Can access and manage instances through a command-line
interface or a web console without difficulty.
➤ Pay-per-use option is quite inexpensive. By paying only for the
time for which you access data, you save money.
➤ Avoid lock-in of data while migrating data on to or off the
Google Cloud platform through JDBC, MySQL Wire Protocol
and mysqldump.

➤ Features Of Cloud SQL: 

➤ Failover among the many physical locations where data is
replicated is automatic. So, even if there is a major failure,
your data is secure and your database is available.
➤ Connecting with the secure sockets layer (SSL) protocol.
➤ Greater durability and availability of data which is replicated
in various geographic locations.
➤ Availability of instances in Asia, EU and the US.

➤ Start with Cloud SQL: 

➤ Create a Google Cloud SQL instance and configure it with an IP address to be
able to connect to it.
➤ Use the MySQL client to connect a Google Cloud SQL – install the MySQL
client; use the IP address you created to connect to the instance; create a table
and a database, key in some data and query it.
➤ Configure a Google Cloud SQL instance – configure access; set a root
password; create, delete, restart and edit instances; configure SSL for
instances; view information about instances; export or import data; configure
point-in-time recovery and schedule backups.
➤ Connect to a Google Cloud SQL instance – from App Engine Go apps; using
MySQL client; from App Engine PHP apps; from reporting and admin tools;
from App Engine Python apps; from external apps; from App Engine Java
apps; from Google Apps Scripts

➤ Manage Cloud SQL: 

➤ Creating an instance – While creating a Google Cloud SQL
instance, the name of the instance is the only configuration
setting needed.
➤ Editing an instance – You can edit an instance and change its
settings at any time after you have created it. 
➤ The change is applied immediately for all instance settings except
for size of the instance. 
➤ Restarting an instance – An instance is stopped as all
connections from it are drained. Google Cloud SQL restarts the
instance when there is a fresh connection request for the
instance, until which the instance stays shut.

➤ Manage Cloud SQL: 

➤ Deleting an instance – When deleted, the data in an instance
is lost permanently and it is a good practice to delete an
instance following a scheduled backup or export of the instance.
➤ Configuring SSL for instances – You can use the SSL protocol
to connect to a Google Cloud SQL instance. You can configure
the instance to be able to connect to it through SSL, once you
have created it.
➤ Adding project members – If you are the owner of a project,
you may have to add project members who are allowed to
manage instances. Use the Google Cloud SDK or the Google
Developers Console to add editors and project owners.
