Hello to all!

I have a question, is there a way to bind mySQL database that I have made to the external task client? I have searched through Camunda docs and in this forum but I wasn’t able to find an answer.

Any help would be appreciated!

@Niall I hope you would come to my rescue like always! :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Rk

You may need to provide some additional info. Not really sure what you mean by

The external task client doesn’t inherently use a database, so not sure what you’re looking to do.

Hello Justin,

what I mean to say is I want to run an external task client (via Python) with some inputs from mySQL database.

The external task client is just a library that interfaces with the process engine’s REST API. Anything you can do in python you should be able to work out, independent of the external task library.
