Yes. In the ideal scenario, MySQL will be able to utilize its own data structures and indices to answer the query before handing back the result to Presto.

The real benefit to using Presto on relational databases is the ability to run queries from a single access point to multiple databases, or in particular, running federated queries (i.e. Joins and Unions) over multiple databases.

The same doesn't apply to Hive or data lake connectors like Iceberg though.
