Open a MySQL database

From this dialog you can open MySQL databases previously created with Helium Music Manager.

Opening a MySQL database

1. Enter the server name in the first edit box. For a locally installed MySQL server you can type localhost and for remote servers you should use the IP or DNS-name for the server.

2. Enter the port number. The default port for MySQL is 3306.

3. Enter user name and password. Please note that you need to connect with a user that has sufficient permissions to alter the database you wish to connect to.

4. Click on the Refresh button to connect and get a list of all databases on the server.

5. Select the database you want to open and click OK to open it.
