Overview

This node operation deletes a MySQL database identified by a specific ID. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically remove a MySQL database from your environment, such as cleaning up test databases, managing database lifecycle in automated workflows, or integrating database management into larger automation processes.

For example, if you have an automated deployment pipeline that creates temporary databases for testing, this node can be used at the end of the pipeline to delete those databases and free up resources.

Properties

Name Meaning
Mysql Database Id The unique identifier (ID) of the MySQL database to be deleted. This is a required string input.

Output

The output JSON typically contains information about the result of the delete operation. This may include confirmation of deletion, status messages, or error details if the deletion failed. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally confirms whether the database was successfully deleted.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the relevant API service managing the MySQL databases.
  • Needs an API authentication token or key configured in n8n credentials to authorize the delete request.
  • The node uses HTTP requests to communicate with the backend service responsible for database management.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent MySQL Database ID will cause the operation to fail.
    • Missing or incorrect API authentication credentials will prevent successful communication with the service.
    • Network connectivity issues can cause timeouts or failures in reaching the API endpoint.

  • Error Messages:

    • "Database not found": Indicates the provided database ID does not exist. Verify the ID before retrying.
    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API credentials are correctly set up and valid.
    • "Network error" or "Timeout": Ensure stable internet connection and that the API endpoint is reachable.

Resolving these errors usually involves verifying input parameters, checking credential configurations, and ensuring network accessibility.

Links and References

  • Refer to your MySQL database management API documentation for details on the delete operation.
  • Consult n8n documentation on setting up API credentials and using HTTP request nodes for similar integrations.
