Get subscription relationship from MySQL

Set up the MySQL database and set the user name and password to root/public. Take MacOS X as an example:

$ brew install mysql
$ brew services start mysql
$ mysql -u root -h localhost -p
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'public';

Initialize the MySQL database:

$ mysql -u root -h localhost -ppublic
create database mqtt;

Create the mqtt_sub table:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `mqtt_sub`;
CREATE TABLE `mqtt_sub` (
  `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `clientid` varchar(64) DEFAULT NULL,
  `topic` varchar(180) DEFAULT NULL,
  `qos` tinyint(1) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `mqtt_sub_idx` (`clientid`,`topic`,`qos`),
  UNIQUE KEY `mqtt_sub_key` (`clientid`,`topic`),
  INDEX topic_index(`id`, `topic`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8MB4;

TIP

The subscription relationship table structure cannot be modified. Please use the above SQL statement to create

Create rules:

Open EMQX Dashboard (opens new window) and select the “Rules” tab on the left.

Then fill in the rule SQL:

Return to the response action interface and click “OK”.

Return to the rule creation interface and click “Create”.

The rule has been created, and you can insert a subscription relationship into MySQL through “mysql”:
