Yes, this is really going to be useful for us once it can pull data from a MySQL database.

My assumption is that because the Visualization API has you specify the data source as a URL that returns JSON-formatted data, you would need to provide a public web frontend to your MySQLdatabasethat accepted these URLs and performed the appropriate transformation. My guess is that days/weeks within the Data Source API documentation being made public, there will be a rash of libraries and tools that will aid in creating such services.

Would it be possible to fetch data from a MySQLdatabase?

I asked a similar question (as have others below), and the answer is 'they did Google Spreadsheets first, more will come soon'. Keep asking for it as that'll push it up their list of priorities. It seems it's the number one request, as it is the system is not really very useful unless you're a Google Spreadsheets user.

I notice that most of the comments on this board are around data source issues, so I'll add my voice to the mix:

Am I missing the documentation for data sources? Google spreadsheet support is not very useful to me. But if there's a REST-based API for data sources that I can provide my own implementation for, then this project opens up a world of possibilities for me.

If this API is already documented somewhere, please let me know.

Thanks,
