MySQL 5.6 now available in Cloud SQL: full text search, geospatial queries and online schema changes
Monday, May 12, 2014
Google Cloud SQL
is a fully managed MySQL service hosted on Google Cloud Platform, providing a database backbone for applications running on
Google App Engine
or
Google Compute Engine
. Over the last few months we’ve been very busy adding an SLA, encrypting all your data, enabling point-in-time-recovery and custom flags, and launching instances in Asia (alongside the US and EU).
Today, we’re adding instances running
MySQL 5.6
, which includes great new features such as geospatial distance queries, full text indexing in InnoDB tables, online schema changes, and a bunch of performance improvements. You can
try it now
, and there are instructions on migrating existing instances
