How to Query Mistral AI Data in MySQL Workbench

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

Connect to Mistral AI 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.

The MistralAI API uses API key authentication.

Using API Key Authentication

Your MistralAI API Key is required to create a connection to MistralAI. API Keys can be obtained from your MistralAI account at console.mistral.ai by navigating to the API Keys section. Once you have obtained the API key, set it in the ProfileSettings connection property.

Example Connection string

Profile=C:\profiles\MistralAI.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=my_api_key;';AuthScheme=APIKey;

Configure the SQL Gateway

See the SQL Gateway Overview to set up connectivity to Mistral AI 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.
