They both offer industry-leading features such as cloud-based data storage, data sharing, data migration, and API connectivity, which are essential for modern businesses. Additionally, Salesforce and MySQL are compatible with a variety of third-party tools and applications, allowing users to create custom data models and build modern, secure database architectures.

Once installed, users can create a database link in MySQL to connect to a Salesforce instance. The database link allows users to access Salesforce data from within MySQL queries as well as perform database operations on Salesforce objects. Additionally, users can access both Salesforce and MySQL data in queries that join data from both sources. After completing the database link setup, users are able to transfer data back and forth between the two systems.
