I am on day 3 of struggling to get past step 2 in the Wave docs. Curious if anyone here is open to helping me. I am not 100% sure of the issue but I cannot get TablePlus to connect to a mysql DB. I thought it could be because I have mysqld running on 3306 as well but struggled with some changes there and also tried a different port with TablePlus.

Anyone have a similar experience and sort it out?

What's unclear in the documentation is if the video creator uses DBngin to connect to TablePlus or just goes straight into TablePlus. I can get it to work if I don't put a DB name in the TablePlus UI but that obvisouly doesn't connect to anything.

Hello,

By default MySQL runs on port 3306 so this should be fine

The problem that you are describing seems to be that you’ve not created a database.

First connect to MySQL with TablePlus without specifying a database. Create a database via TablePlus and finally use that database name in your Wave env file.

Let me know how it goes.

Best,

Bobby
