title: Can SQLAlchemy be used with Google Cloud SQL?
body: <p>I've looked over Google Cloud SQL's documentation and various searches, but I can't find out whether it is possible to use SQLAlchemy with Google Cloud SQL, and if so, what the connection URI should be.</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking to use the Flask-SQLAlchemy extension and need the connection string like so:
  <code>mysql://username:password@server/db</code></p>
  
  <p>I saw the Django example, but it appears the configuration uses a different style than the connection string.  <a href="https://developers.google.com/cloud-sql/docs/django" rel="noreferrer">https://developers.google.com/cloud-sql/docs/django</a></p>
