Cloud SQL
Creates a new SQL database instance in Google Cloud SQL.

google_sql_database_instance

Creates a new Google SQL Database Instance. For more information, see the official documentation, or the JSON API.

~> NOTE on google_sql_database_instance: - Second-generation instances include a default 'root'@'%' user with no password. This user will be deleted by Terraform on instance creation. You should use google_sql_user to define a custom user with a restricted host and strong password.

-> Note: On newer versions of the provider, you must explicitly set deletion_protection=false (and run terraform apply to write the field to state) in order to destroy an instance. It is recommended to not set this field (or set it to true) until you're ready to destroy the instance and its databases.

Example Usage

SQL Second Generation Instance

resource "google_sql_database_instance" "main" {
  name             = "main-instance"
  database_version = "POSTGRES_15"
  region           = "us-central1"

  settings {
    # Second-generation instance tiers are based on the machine
    # type. See argument reference below.
    tier = "db-f1-micro"
  }
}

Granular restriction of network access

resource "google_compute_instance" "apps" {
  count        = 8
  name         = "apps-${count.index + 1}"
  machine_type = "f1-micro"

  boot_disk {
    initialize_params {
      image = "ubuntu-os-cloud/ubuntu-1804-lts"
    }
  }

  network_interface {
    network = "default"

    access_config {
      // Ephemeral IP
    }
  }
}

resource "random_id" "db_name_suffix" {
  byte_length = 4
}

locals {
  onprem = ["192.168.1.2", "192.168.2.3"]
}

resource "google_sql_database_instance" "postgres" {
  name             = "postgres-instance-${random_id.db_name_suffix.hex}"
  database_version = "POSTGRES_15"

  settings {
    tier = "db-f1-micro"

    ip_configuration {

      dynamic "authorized_networks" {
        for_each = google_compute_instance.apps
        iterator = apps

        content {
          name  = apps.value.name
          value = apps.value.network_interface.0.access_config.0.nat_ip
        }
      }

      dynamic "authorized_networks" {
        for_each = local.onprem
        iterator = onprem

        content {
          name  = "onprem-${onprem.key}"

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • region - (Optional) The region the instance will sit in. If a region is not provided in the resource definition, the provider region will be used instead.

  • settings - (Optional) The settings to use for the database. The configuration is detailed below. Required if clone is not set.

  • database_version - (Required) The MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQL Server version to use. Supported values include MYSQL_5_6, MYSQL_5_7, MYSQL_8_0, MYSQL_8_4, POSTGRES_9_6,POSTGRES_10, POSTGRES_11, POSTGRES_12, POSTGRES_13, POSTGRES_14, POSTGRES_15, POSTGRES_16, POSTGRES_17, SQLSERVER_2017_STANDARD, SQLSERVER_2017_ENTERPRISE, SQLSERVER_2017_EXPRESS, SQLSERVER_2017_WEB. SQLSERVER_2019_STANDARD, SQLSERVER_2019_ENTERPRISE, SQLSERVER_2019_EXPRESS, SQLSERVER_2019_WEB. Database Version Policies includes an up-to-date reference of supported versions.

  • name - (Optional, Computed) The name of the instance. If the name is left blank, Terraform will randomly generate one when the instance is first created. This is done because after a name is used, it cannot be reused for up to one week.

  • maintenance_version - (Optional) The current software version on the instance. This attribute can not be set during creation. Refer to available_maintenance_versions attribute to see what maintenance_version are available for upgrade. When this attribute gets updated, it will cause an instance restart. Setting a maintenance_version value that is older than the current one on the instance will be ignored.

  • master_instance_name - (Optional) The name of the existing instance that will act as the master in the replication setup. Note, this requires the master to have binary_log_enabled set, as well as existing backups.

  • project - (Optional) The ID of the project in which the resource belongs. If it is not provided, the provider project is used.

  • replica_configuration - (Optional) The configuration for replication. The configuration is detailed below.

  • replica_names - (Optional, Computed) List of replica names. Can be updated.

  • root_password - (Optional) Initial root password. Can be updated. Required for MS SQL Server.

  • encryption_key_name - (Optional) The full path to the encryption key used for the CMEK disk encryption. Setting up disk encryption currently requires manual steps outside of Terraform. The provided key must be in the same region as the SQL instance. In order to use this feature, a special kind of service account must be created and granted permission on this key. This step can currently only be done manually, please see this step. That service account needs the Cloud KMS > Cloud KMS CryptoKey Encrypter/Decrypter role on your key - please see this step.

  • deletion_protection - (Optional) Whether Terraform will be prevented from destroying the instance. When the field is set to true or unset in Terraform state, a terraform apply or terraform destroy that would delete the instance will fail. When the field is set to false, deleting the instance is allowed.

    ~> NOTE: This flag only protects instances from deletion within Terraform. To protect your instances from accidental deletion across all surfaces (API, gcloud, Cloud Console and Terraform), use the API flag settings.deletion_protection_enabled.

  • restore_backup_context - (optional) The context needed to restore the database to a backup run. This field will cause Terraform to trigger the database to restore from the backup run indicated. The configuration is detailed below. NOTE: Restoring from a backup is an imperative action and not recommended via Terraform. Adding or modifying this block during resource creation/update will trigger the restore action after the resource is created/updated.

  • clone - (Optional) The context needed to create this instance as a clone of another instance. When this field is set during resource creation, Terraform will attempt to clone another instance as indicated in the context. The configuration is detailed below.

The settings block supports:

  • tier - (Required) The machine type to use. See tiers for more details and supported versions. Postgres supports only shared-core machine types, and custom machine types such as db-custom-2-13312. See the Custom Machine Type Documentation to learn about specifying custom machine types.

  • availability_type - (Optional) The availability type of the Cloud SQL instance, high availability (REGIONAL) or single zone (ZONAL).' For all instances, ensure that settings.backup_configuration.enabled is set to true. For MySQL instances, ensure that settings.backup_configuration.binary_log_enabled is set to true. For Postgres and SQL Server instances, ensure that settings.backup_configuration.point_in_time_recovery_enabled is set to true. Defaults to ZONAL.

  • collation - (Optional) The name of server instance collation.

  • connector_enforcement - (Optional) Control the enforcement of Cloud SQL Auth Proxy or Cloud SQL connectors for all the connections, can be REQUIRED or NOT_REQUIRED. If enabled, all the direct connections are rejected.

  • deletion_protection_enabled - (Optional) Enables deletion protection of an instance at the GCP level.

Attributes Reference

In addition to the arguments listed above, the following computed attributes are exported:

  • self_link - The URI of the created resource.

  • connection_name - The connection name of the instance to be used in connection strings. For example, when connecting with Cloud SQL Proxy.

  • dns_name - The DNS name of the instance. See Connect to an instance using Private Service Connect for more details.

  • service_account_email_address - The service account email address assigned to the instance.

  • ip_address.0.ip_address - The IPv4 address assigned.

  • ip_address.0.time_to_retire - The time this IP address will be retired, in RFC 3339 format.

  • ip_address.0.type - The type of this IP address.

    • A PRIMARY address is an address that can accept incoming connections.

    • An OUTGOING address is the source address of connections originating from the instance, if supported.

    • A PRIVATE address is an address for an instance which has been configured to use private networking see: Private IP.

Switchover (SQL Server Only)

Users can perform a switchover on any direct cascadable replica by following the steps below.

~>WARNING: Failure to follow these steps can lead to data loss (You will be warned during plan stage). To prevent data loss during a switchover, please verify your plan with the checklist below.

For a more in-depth walkthrough with example code, see the Switchover Guide

Steps to Invoke Switchover

Create a cascadable replica in a different region from the primary (cascadable_replica is set to true in replica_configuration)

Invoking switchover in the replica resource:

  1. Change instance_type from READ_REPLICA_INSTANCE to CLOUD_SQL_INSTANCE
  2. Remove master_instance_name
  3. Remove replica_configuration
  4. Add current primary's name to the replica's replica_names list

Updating the primary resource:

  1. Change instance_type from CLOUD_SQL_INSTANCE to READ_REPLICA_INSTANCE

  2. Set master_instance_name to the original replica (which will be primary after switchover)

  3. Set replica_configuration and set cascadable_replica to true

  4. Remove original replica from replica_names

    ~> NOTE: Do not delete the replica_names field, even if it has no replicas remaining. Set replica_names = [ ] to indicate it having no replicas.

Plan and verify that:

  • terraform plan outputs "0 to add, 0 to destroy"
  • terraform plan does not say "must be replaced" for any resource
  • Every resource "will be updated in-place"
  • Only the 2 instances involved in switchover have planned changes
  • (Recommended) Use deletion_protection on instances as a safety measure

Timeouts

google_sql_database_instance provides the following Timeouts configuration options:

  • create - Default is 90 minutes.
  • update - Default is 90 minutes.
  • delete - Default is 90 minutes.

Import

Database instances can be imported using one of any of these accepted formats:

  • projects/{{project}}/instances/{{name}}
  • {{project}}/{{name}}
  • {{name}}

In Terraform v1.5.0 and later, use an import block to import Database instances using one of the formats above. For example:

import {
  id = "projects/{{project}}/instances/{{name}}"
  to = google_sql_database_instance.default
}

When using the terraform import command, Database instances can be imported using one of the formats above. For example:

$ terraform import google_sql_database_instance.default projects/{{project}}/instances/{{name}}
$ terraform import google_sql_database_instance.default {{project}}/{{name}}
$ terraform import google_sql_database_instance.default {{name}}

~> NOTE: Some fields (such as replica_configuration) won't show a diff if they are unset in config and set on the server. When importing, double-check that your config has all the fields set that you expect- just seeing no diff isn't sufficient to know that your config could reproduce the imported resource.
