I have a free CloudBees account and created a free ClearDB database using their wizards. My trouble is when I use their connection information (whether I try to connect from my Java app, or an outside tool - SQLyog to be exact) I take the error: Access denied for user 'b51dbc5757d79f'#'%' to database 'mywiki.
The username provided by CloudBees does not contain those extra characters that the error message is displaying which seems like it would be a problem, but I'm not sure there is anything I can do about that since everything is configured for me. The username I am given is: b51dbc5757d79f - which I can delete and rebuild after sharing here :)
To diagnosis this best way is to be sure you use the right username and password when you connect through a MySQL client like MySQLWorkbench. For that you can use the CloudBees SDK and to use the db:info command.
bees db:info -p DATABASE_NAME
Be sure you don't have any firewall or proxy in the middle of the connection.

I would like to manage my database with https://www.phpmyadmin.co. But it doesn't want to bind. After like 20 Seconds there comes an errror.
error picture
I can use it for my minecraft plugins with localhost. Here are my setup commands:
CREATE DATABASE data;
CREATE USER 'myuser'#localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'userpsw432';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON data.* TO 'myuser'#localhost;
I think it has something to do with #localhost but I'm not that familiar with linux yet.
Thanks for helping!
That phpmyadmin.co thing is a web service, running on some server on the net someplace, that connects to its users' databases and serves as a phpmyadmin database client.
To use it your database must be on the network and not firewalled, and you must give it your machine's public internet address.
localhost isn't a public address, though. I suspect your localhost database server is not accessible that way.
You probably need some substitute for phpmyadmin that you can run locally. HeidiSql? MySql Workbench? SquirrelSQL?
I have a MySql database running on a remote server which requires ssh authentication that I need to connect to with Microsoft Power BI. I can easily connect to MySQL on my localhost machine, but cannot find a way to manage both the server ssh authentication and the database user log on information.
The server requires authentication on port 22 with a username and password and the MySQL database requires a different username and password.
Can anyone offer assistance?
It seems possible to connect remotely, though I'm not sure you can do it through an 'SSH tunnel' on port 22.
There's a discussion here about connecting remotely which sounds to me like a connection to the usual port 3306, though I'm not certain:
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Integrations-with-Files-and/Cannot-Connect-to-MySQL-on-Linux-VM/td-p/94914
Some common pitfalls:
1) Make sure you download the correct version of MySQL/Net connector. As of now, version 6.6.5 seems to be working. I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out what was wrong with earlier versions.
2) Server & database settings: closed ports / user permissions / bind-address
Before connecting PowerBI, try to connect another utility like MySQL Workbench. This will force you to troubleshoot the above settings.
This is not currently possible with PowerBI. The feature is currently under review, and you can help get it prioritized by upvoting here:

I don't think it is supported (yet) but it looks like a lot of people want a solution including me. See this Power BI Ideas Request
1) create gateway to connect server then
2) then it will ask connection string their you can give server port and database username and password
The problem turned out to be an error in the remote servers firewall configuration.
After further research I have confirmed that Power BI would not support dual authentication steps like logging onto a remote server with ssh and then connecting to the database. Thanks Robin for your suggestion. That was a key point.
Please remember that for remote connections you need to authorise the mysql users to connect from specific hosts (adding the IP) or % to allow to get connected from any host remotely
the SQL is something similar to:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
How to allow remote connection to mysql
I have the following information to a SQL database
Server : MyUserName.mysql.db
User : MyUserName
Password : MyPassWord
I am a little noob in this context, so I have some questions:
How to know where is hosted my database? Is it in mysql domain? (Isn't that the type of database?)
How can I access it and visualize it?
To begin with, you need a CLIENT to be able to access your database. For MySQL, you can use either Workbench or MySQL CLIENT (the last giving you command-line level access).
Second, and according to your information, the server is MyUserName.mysql.db so if you try to PING that server you should get some response.
Third, MySQL has a default port number so you need to configure your client to access that server though that port (if I'm not mistaking, 3306).
You will also need access credentials to your database.
Your DB administrator should be able to provide all the information you need.
Contact your database administrator.
If you're trying to acess/visualize sql server database on your local computer install ssms to connect to your local database , similarly you can access any other database through ssms.
I have a database on my server and I want to connect to it through MySql Workbench, I entered my HostName, Username, Password, When I click Test Connection I get this Error Message:
Failed to Connect to MYSQL at **.**.***.**:3306 with user root.
Host '**.171.199.66' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
I am 100% sure my Hostname, username and Password are correct, I did some research and from what I managed to find out that I have to actually permit an access from my IP address to the database before I can connect.....if this is correct could someone explain to me how to give myself e permission to connect to my database on server.
It is likely that your MySql root account is configured to not accept remote root logins (its a default). If you are trying to connect from anywhere but localhost its not going to allow it. Your're right you need to permit access for your IP. You need to do it from within the server your MySql is installed on. In case of if you have managed hosting, your hosting company should provide you with a tool like phpMyAdmin or such, to manage your MySql. If it is your own installation, you can connect to mysql server instance from the console and go from there.

Here is what you should be looking for in phpMyAdmin:
Keep in mind it might look a bit different depending on the phpMyAdmin Version.
I want to access my CloudBees managed Database (MySQL) with a password from my app and client - how to I get it?
First, you will need to install the command line tools
Run
bees db:info -p youraccount/dbname
and this will show all the details you need.
(-p means to show the password on the terminal, it won't by default).
If you use "bees app:bind" - or a clickstart setup your DB binding for you - your app should already be wired up to connect to the database when it runs in cloudbees (you shouldn't need to ever see the password in this case).
