AnalyticDB:Import data using DataWorks

Last Updated:Mar 28, 2026

DataWorks provides a visual, no-code interface for moving data between sources. Use DataWorks to import data from ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL into AnalyticDB for MySQL when you need a simpler setup than external tables. This approach works best for small-volume imports.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have:

Import data from ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL

  1. Add your ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance as a data source in DataWorks. For instructions, see Add a MySQL data source.

  2. Add your AnalyticDB for MySQL cluster as a data source in DataWorks. For instructions, see Add an AnalyticDB for MySQL 3.0 data source.

  3. Configure a data synchronization job in Data Integration to move data from the RDS source to the AnalyticDB for MySQL destination. For instructions, see Configure a synchronization task in Data Integration.
