## About
The `cloud-sql-admin` source provides a client to interact with the [Google
Cloud SQL Admin API](https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/admin-api). This
allows tools to perform administrative tasks on Cloud SQL instances, such as
creating users and databases.
Authentication can be handled in two ways:
1. **Application Default Credentials (ADC):** By default, the source uses ADC
to authenticate with the API.
2. **Client-side OAuth:** If `useClientOAuth` is set to `true`, the source will
expect an OAuth 2.0 access token to be provided by the client (e.g., a web
browser) for each request.
## Example
```yaml
sources:
my-cloud-sql-admin:
kind: cloud-sql-admin
my-oauth-cloud-sql-admin:
kind: cloud-sql-admin
useClientOAuth: true
```
