How to add oracle's x-devapi to node js server

Question

I have been coding my app with x-devapi locally on my computer and for the last 5 hours, I have tried possible workorounds to host it on Google app-engine but unsuccessful. I am only able to connect to Google App engine's MySQL database as illustrated in their documentation. However I want to use the X-devApi. Does Google app-engine support Oracle's X-devApi? how can I achieve this?

UPDATE:

According to the X-devApi documentation, the database connection happens when the X-devAPI is enabled in the database. This is how I enable it locally :

sudo mysqlsh -u root -h 127.0.0.1 --mysql --dba enableXProtocol

Secondly, the language have to be specified with command e.g \py for python, for example. I use Nodejs for my server and I have researched alot on how to enable the X-devApi on the console but I have not found any documentations.

Here is How I connect locally,

var mysqlx = require('mysqlx');
 
// Connect to server on localhost
var mySession = mysqlx.getSession(“mysqlx://user:password@localhost:33060”)
 
var myDb = mySession.getSchema('test');

While google cloud has three procedures:

1. Creating Instance and setting password:- gcloud sql users set-password root % --instance [INSTANCE_NAME] --password [PASSWORD]

   2. Setting up the Cloud SQL instance and creating database respectively:- gcloud sql users create [USER_NAME] [HOST] --instance=[INSTANCE_NAME] --password=[PASSWORD] , gcloud sql databases create [DATABASE_NAME] --instance=[INSTANCE_NAME]

Point of difficulty: How, and at which point do I enable the X-devApi, is it at instance or user level? if possible, please help with this procedure.

Answer 1

So far I've been investigating the Google Cloud SQL instances are not compatible with X protocol, which is completely necessary for X-devAPI.

Therefore, currently there is no way to use said tool with Cloud SQL.
