I installed MySQL on an EC2 instance and need to get some information about that database so I can setup pligg on it.
The info it needs are: Database Name, Username, Password, Database Server and Table Prefix. Is there a simple way to retrieve this information? I assume I need to use PuTTy but I couldn't find specific info on it.
Thanks
The database server is most likely to be localhost and the rest are values that you must set. The docs for whatever application you are installing should give a tutorial on how to create these.
You might find phpMyAdmin useful if the application provides a SQL script to run and you don't want to use the command line.

Relevant info: Using Python3, mysql database and mysql connector package for connecting to the database.
I have a program that uses database to get info that it needs and to write to it. On my machine it works well because I'm connected to the local host but on another machine it won't work. Because program will use real server someday, I want to, if program doesn't have access to the server to use copy of a database that will be stored in his files. I'm new to databases and I can't seem to find any remotely relevant info on this. Help on how can I do this or point me in the right direction where to look, thanks.
sorry if title is not so clear, probably I am not finding what I need due I do not know how to search
I have few MySQL servers is separated online servers (from different wordpress) and I want to load some of the data on those databases/tablets into a SQL database located on Azure.
inside Azure portal itself I do not see where to establish external connections, neither at server level, neither at database level
I download and install Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, connect to the server, I can see my databse and the master one, Security with logins, and Integration Service Catalog, nothing else.
I was looking for something like:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/go/db-tutorial-connecting-to-ms-sql-server.html#step-3-connect-to-microsoft-sql-server-with-datagrip
but nowhere ...
maybe something like this:
https://www.devart.com/odbc/mysql/docs/microsoft_sql_server_manager_s.htm
but no Servers objects option available on my SSMS
Can be this done?
Note: Azure database is a basic wfor now, if that is a limitation
Some choices.
In your SQL Server Management Studio create a linked server pointing to each MySQL instance. You found the instructions for that. https://www.devart.com/odbc/mysql/docs/microsoft_sql_server_manager_s.htm But it probably will not work in Azure SQL Server; you don't have access to the underlying Windows OS to install stuff like MySQL ODBC drivers, which you need. (You could ask Azure techsupport if they can help.)
In each MySQL instance, try creating a federated table connection to appropriate table in SQL Server. That cross-vendor federation stuff only works in MariaDB, however; MySQL's federation only goes MySQL <--> MySQL.
Write yourself a purpose-built extract / transform / load (ETL) program, and arrange to run it every so often. Program it to connect to all the servers involved, retrieve the data needing to be transferred from your MySQL servers, and update / insert that data on the SQL server.
(edit) You may be able to use command-line SQL client programs. mysqldump, with its --compatible option, may generate usable INSERT statements in a file. You then may be able to use sqlcmd to run those INSERTs on your Azure server. It's going to take some hacking, and may take using sed(1) or awk(1) to make the MySQL output compatible with SQL Server.
I believe the third option is the most robust one for production use.
I have two servers that I want to integrate between, Both are using MySQL server.
I would like to be able to run a Query from one Server to the other server and search the DB using a filter that I have and apply the changes while checking the DB on the other server.
The scenario is like this:
Server One: MySQL server with Database of Clients with a Status field that is member and I want to update the customer details in the CRM server by the FILTER BY STATUS=MEMBER. Select * From Customers where status=Member (or somthing like that). the Idea is that I would be able to CONNECT the CRM Server and run the task on it's Database. can that be doen? and How can I do that?
AND
Server Two (CRM): has its MySQL server as well and a database of Members with all connections. I would be happy to be able to connect the CRM server with all the info I got from the other server using the Filter that I mention above and update the members database accordingly.
How can I do that? I need to connect the Server using the root#hostname user with all privileges that I will be able to manipulate any Database that I will chose to work on. And update it on will.
Please assist me with the above integration and how do I do that? What is the RIGHT way to connect from one server MySQL server using a query with Filtering to another Server's SQL database and update it?
Please assist.
Thanks

I have recently started using MySQL Workbench, hence I apologise if this is not the proper platform to ask this question. I tried to figure out the solution of my own, but could not find any appropriate one.
Here is my situation: At my workplace, we have a huge set of data about the operational and financial figures such as sales, employee, profit, etc for European companies spread over past 7-8 years and new data keeps coming regularly. However, the problem is we work from different remote locations, me in one city and the other two colleagues in a different city. Normally, we share our work files (.xls/.doc) etc through Dropbox. So, we thought of creating a database in MySQL wherein we all can submit/edit/add this data so that we can filter and analyse this data on several ways once the collection is complete. And we plan to use and access it thereafter. We believe that this is ease a lot of our work. So all I want to know is: can all three of us collaborate simultaeousy (in order to add or edit the data) through workbench Server administration, like the way we collaborate our work through Dropbox? I want to be the host (like the administrator) and then want to allow the access to my colleagues.
Thank you for your time and answer. You may also refer me to any site or link to read more about it.
I think you are a bit confused about what MySQL Workbench is.
MySQL workbench is just a data viewer and administration tool that connects to a MySQL server, there's no data "stored" in MySQL workbench, all the data is stored in the server.
MySQL workbench can:
Connect to a MySQL server
Send SQL instructions and show the results: You can create and drop databases, send SQL queries, create and execute stored procedures and functions... all assuming you have the right privileges.
Perform administration tasks: You can create and drop users, grant or revoke permissions, etcétera
But the fact is: all is stored in a MySQL server... so the answer to your question is: Yes, you can work simmultaneously with your colleagues, if and only if all of you can connect to the same database server (as Mike W commented).
Addressing your comments, and clarifying more details:
MySQL is a database server. When you install it in a computer, all data is stored in that computer (aside from replication and other fine details). You should make regular backups of your data (MySQL has tools for that, one is mysqldump). If you want to access the data stored in your database server, you can do it:
By ussing the command-line client,
By using MySQL workbench or another GUI client program, or
By any program that can connect to the database server (via ODBC or specific libraries).
Focusing on MySQL Workbench, and addressing your specific question: If your machine breaks down, you can install the MySQL Server in any other machine, and load the backup into it. You will have to configure that new machine so that any of your coworkers can connect to it (that may imply that a new set of connection parameters is created).
I'm just starting out with CloudFoundry and I understand that the only way to be able to execute a sql dump against a db is to
Create MySQL service
Bind Service
Tunnel to the service
But I'm not getting any luck on the last part. I followed the directions from cloud foundry forum discussion
I select option 1. None But I just don't know how run
mysql --protocol=TCP --host=localhost --port=10000 --user=ub2sCBQ0mGsVZ --password=pRXana7vEOX0C df83386088ffc4f8d8cf288791d22fb99 < sample.sql
from command line (Windows) or from SQLyog.
The other part of the question is of course once I am able to create the database and the tables and insert data into them. How does my webapp need to connect to the database?
On one hand I think I know the answer as described here
But I can't believe that this is the only way. This is damn difficult with Spring because I would have to read the env in before the entire Spring/Hibernate machinery starts creating the needed beans. Is there an example of less complex way to do this ?
if you are using Windows I would suggest using MySQL workbench to connect using the credentials provided when opening the tunnel using VMC. You can download it from the MySQL website here;
https://www.mysql.com/products/workbench/
When deploying a Spring application that uses a MySQL service you can have it automatically configure the database connection in your app. See the following page for details;
