# MySQL data source
Grafana ships with a built-in MySQL data source plugin that allows you to query and visualize data from a MySQL-compatible database like [MariaDB](https://mariadb.org/) or [Percona Server](https://www.percona.com/). You don't need to install a plugin in order to add the MySQL data source to your Grafana instance.
Grafana offers several configuration options for this data source as well as a visual and code-based query editor.
## Get started with the MySQL data source
The following documents will help you get started with the MySQL data source in Grafana:
- [Configure the MySQL data source](ref:configure-mysql-data-source)
- [MySQL query editor](ref:mysql-query-editor)
Once you have configured the data source you can:
- Add [annotations](ref:annotate-visualizations)
- Set up [alerting](ref:alerting)
- Add [transformations](ref:transformations)
