Bluemix using Node-RED bind to existing ClearDB MySQL service

Question

I am using Node-RED on IBM Bluemix. I am trying to connect to MySQL hosted by ClearDB, but I cannot find a suitable node in the database category.

How can I bind to existing ClearDB service that I already have bound to another app?

Answer 1

You can take a look at this MySQL node for Node-RED in the flow and node library, it is an extension. The steps to add additional node types to the editor is explained in the Node-RED documentation in general, however it does not directly apply to Bluemix. For your Bluemix environment you would need to access and modify the environment. See this post on how to deploy your customized Node-RED environment to Bluemix .
