+### Run PostgreSQL and MySQL integration tests
+
+To run PostgreSQL and MySQL integration tests locally, you need to start the docker blocks for MySQL and/or PostgreSQL test data sources by running `make devenv sources=mysql_tests,postgres_tests`. When your test data sources are running, you can execute integration tests by running:
+
+```
+GRAFANA_TEST_DB=mysql go test -covermode=atomic -tags=integration ./pkg/...
+```
+
+and/or
+
+```
+GRAFANA_TEST_DB=postgres go test -covermode=atomic -tags=integration ./pkg/...
+```
+
