How to connect to mysql server with SSL from a flask app

Question

I want to connect to a mysql server via flask and

app.config[\'SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI\'] = \'mysql://your-username:your-password@localhost/schema\'
<         


        

Answer 1

In case you need to use a Cloud-based MySQL service, this configuration will be slightly different. For example,

In Azure, it will be,

app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'mysql+pymysql://your-username:your-password@localhost/your-schema?ssl_ca=BaltimoreCyberTrustRoot.crt.pem'

wherein, the file BaltimoreCyberTrustRoot.crt.pem can be downloaded from here.
