# cimg/mysql

A MySQL Docker image built to run on CircleCI.

***This image is designed to supersede the legacy CircleCI MySQL image, `circleci/mysql`.***

`cimg/mysql` is a Docker image created by CircleCI with continuous integration builds in mind.

## Getting Started

This image can be used with the CircleCI `docker` executor as a secondary image.
For example:

```yaml
jobs:
  build:
    docker:
      - image: cimg/go:1.17
      - image: cimg/mysql:8.0
    steps:
      - checkout
```

In the above example, the CircleCI Go Docker image is used for the primary container while the MySQL image is used as a secondary.
More specifically, the tag `8.0` is used meaning the version of MySQL will be v8.0.
You can now connect to a MySQL instance from the primary image within the steps for this job.


## How This Image Works

This image contains the MySQL database and its complete toolchain.

### Tagging Scheme

This image has the following tagging scheme:

```
cimg/mysql:<mysql-version>
```

`<mysql-version>` - The version of Mysql to use.
