"description": "This file generates or explains Cloud SQL resources. Use this file when the user asks to create a Cloud SQL instance or database for MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server.\nCloud SQL manages third-party MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server instances as resources in Cloud SQL. For example, when Cloud SQL creates an open-source MySQL instance, the resulting resource is a Cloud SQL for MySQL instance that Google Cloud manages.\nCloud SQL handles backups, high availability, and secure connectivity for relational database workloads."

Cloud SQL Basics
Cloud SQL is a fully managed relational database service for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server. It automates time-consuming tasks like patches, updates, backups, and replicas, while providing high performance and availability for your applications.
Prerequisites
Ensure you have the necessary IAM permissions to create and manage Cloud SQL
instances. The Cloud SQL Admin (roles/cloudsql.admin) role provides full
access to Cloud SQL resources.
Quick Start (PostgreSQL)
-
Enable the API:
gcloud services enable sqladmin.googleapis.com --quiet -
Create an Instance:
gcloud sql instances create INSTANCE_NAME \ --database-version=POSTGRES_18 \ --cpu=2 \ --memory=7680MiB \ --region=REGION \ --quiet -
Set a password for the default user:
Because this is a Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instance, the default admin user is
postgres:gcloud sql users set-password postgres \ --instance=INSTANCE_NAME --password=PASSWORD \ --quiet -
Create a database:
gcloud sql databases create DATABASE_NAME \ --instance=INSTANCE_NAME \ --quiet -
Get the instance connection name:
You need the instance connection name (which is formatted as
PROJECT_ID:REGION:INSTANCE_NAME) to connect using the Cloud SQL Auth Proxy. Retrieve it with the following command:gcloud sql instances describe INSTANCE_NAME \ --format="value(connectionName)" \ --quiet -
Connect to the instance:
The Cloud SQL Auth Proxy must be running to be able to connect to the instance. In a separate terminal, start the proxy using the connection name:
./cloud-sql-proxy INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAMEWith the proxy running, connect using
psqlin another terminal:psql "host=127.0.0.1 port=5432 user=postgres dbname=DATABASE_NAME password=PASSWORD sslmode=disable"
