This page describes how to get started with the gcloud CLI so you can use it to manage Cloud SQL instances. The gcloud CLI uses the Cloud SQL Admin API to access Cloud SQL, so you must enable the API before you can use the gcloud CLI to access Cloud SQL.
For gcloud examples, see the
How-to page for the task.
