Comments¶
Establishing a database connection is the first step in communicating with a database. All other queries need the connection. Therefore, establishing the database connection has a somewhat global nature, and in many cases it can be put into the system globals pipeline or in the globals pipeline. If the connection is created in such a way it will be available from everywhere in your pipeline.
See the MySql documentation for more information about how to establish connections to MySql databases.
