Data Integrations

This section contains instructions on how to connect data sources to MindsDB.

Note that MindsDB doesn’t store or copy your data. Instead, it fetches data directly from your connected sources each time you make a query, ensuring that any changes to the data are instantly reflected. This means your data remains in its original location, and MindsDB always works with the most up-to-date information.
