Is it possible to use Cloud SQL as a database for a WIX website. I’ve tried to translate the articles on using external databases with WIX, but have not been able to understand how that would work with Cloud SQL. It would be nice if we could use the Cloud Proxy binary along with a key file to access our Cloud SQL. But that’s probably too much to hope for. If this is possible, please provide detailed instructions.

Nobody gives concrete information on how to make this connection, I was looking for the Cloud SQL APIs but no example of how to use them, if WIX made a clear example, its platform would be gold
Why would Wix provide info for Cloud SQL when it is a Google product, just go to Google and look there.

Plus there is already samples out there that you can use from Wix
