Connecting

- Click File > New > Database Connection or press
Ctrl + N. - In the Select Database window, choose MySQL, then click Next.
- Enter your database connection details:
- Host: Your database’s hostname or IP address.
- Port:
3306(or the custom port if specified). - Database: The name of your MySQL database.
- Username: Your database username.
- Password: Your database password.
- Click Test Connection to ensure everything is correct. If successful, proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Save and Connect

Additional Notes
- If you experience connection issues, verify that your database host allows external connections. Some providers require you to whitelist your IP address.
- Ensure that your firewall or security groups do not block MySQL’s default port (
3306).
