# MariaDB

UI Bakery allows you to easily connect to MariaDB with no need for additional layers like APIs or third-party services.

## Configuration

### Prerequisites

If your database is hosted behind a Firewall, you need to add our [IP addresses](/concepts/data-sources.md#whitelisting-ip-addresses) to the Firewall whitelist.

### Connecting the data source

1. On the **Data sources** page, click **Connect**, and select *MariaDB* in the Data sources list.
2. Specify all the required credentials and click **Test connection** to check whether the data source can be connected.
3. Finally, click **Connect Datasource** to complete the setup.

UI Bakery will extract the database structure and store column types. This data will be used to suggest the proper [table columns and form field types](/concepts/components/work-with-components/field-types-and-types-recognition.md).

## Usage

Once you have established the connection between UI Bakery and MariaDB, you can access its data - load it and send it back.

The following *Action steps* are supported with MariaDB:

* [Load Table](/reference/working-with-actions/load-table-action.md)
* [Load Row](/reference/working-with-actions/load-row-action.md)
* [Create Row](/reference/working-with-actions/create-row-action.md)
* [Bulk Create Rows](/reference/working-with-actions/bulk-create-rows-action.md)
* [Update Row](/reference/working-with-actions/update-row-action.md)
* [Delete Row](/reference/working-with-actions/delete-row-action.md)
* [Bulk Delete Rows](/reference/working-with-actions/bulk-delete-rows-action.md)
* [SQL Query](/reference/working-with-actions/sql-query.md)

After executing an action, you might also want to transform or map your data and display it in a component. Check out the following pages for more information:point\_down:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.uibakery.io/reference/data-sources/mariadb.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
