Alternate access to MySQL Cloud access apart from PHP site

At this time there is no alternative db access option without a VPN.

As mentioned by , for reading from the database, the Enhanced Data Pipeline Option is an offering available today for cloud customers who meet the necessary conditions.

Note that for Appian Cloud, Access to the database web interface is secured using the Database Administrators Group.

Perhaps you can adjust how this group is configured to better suit your needs.

Thank you @josep and Robert Shankin for your inputs, our client do have premier support from Appian and Client doesn't even want System Administrator to access the DB (No Access -- Client security guideline No to PHP). At this we don't have time to go through the security assessment for opening any tunnel.  We raised a support ticket with Appian and will update accordingly.
