MySQL - Connectez-vous avec MySQL Workbench (EN)
Connect to your Public Cloud Databases for MySQL using MySQL Workbench
Last updated 8th March 2022
Objective
Public Cloud Databases allow you to focus on building and deploying cloud applications while OVHcloud takes care of the database infrastructure and maintenance in operational conditions.
This guide explains how to connect to a MySQL database instance with MySQL Workbench.
Requirements
- Access to the OVHcloud Control Panel
- A Public Cloud project in your OVHcloud account
- A MySQL database running on your OVHcloud Public Cloud Databases (this guide can help you to meet this requirement)
- Configure your MySQL instance to accept incoming connections
- A MySQL Workbench stable version installed and public network connectivity (Internet). This guide was made with MySQL Workbench version 8.0.28.
Concept
A MySQL instance can be managed through multiple ways. One of the easiest, yet powerful, is to use a Command Line Interface (CLI), as shown in our guide: Connect to MySQL with CLI or by using programming languages, such as PHP or Python.
Another way is to interact directly using a management tool like MySQL Workbench.
Instructions
