# Sink data from RisingWave to TiDB with the JDBC connector

> As TiDB is compatible with MySQL, you can sink data to TiDB the same way you would sink data to MySQL with the JDBC connector.

For the syntax, settings, and examples, see [Sink data from RisingWave to MySQL with the JDBC connector](/integrations/destinations/mysql).
