# Accessing MySQL via Gateway

Within the MODLR Gateway is a page which allows modellers to view, search and modify records in the local MySQL Database called **Manage Data**. Tables created within a model will show here.

#### Uploading CSV files into the MySQL Database

The Manage Data page allows a modeller to upload CSV files to either an existing table with the same format or uploads the CSV into a newly created table.

Note: CSV files can also be uploaded via FTP and accessed directly using processes (bypassing the MySQL database). To do this set the Process data source to **MODLR Filesystem**.
