Connect with MySQL Workbench

Note

When using a third-party SQL client or development tool, you must first add a database user to log into a SingleStore Helios database.

To connect to SingleStore Helios from MySQL Workbench:

Open MySQL Workbench and create a new MySQL connection.
In the Setup New Connection dialog, enter the following details:
- Connection Name: A name for your connection, for example SingleStoreDB.
- Hostname: The IP address or hostname of your SingleStore Helios workspace.
  
  Refer to SingleStore Helios Endpoints to determine the endpoint (host:port) of your deployment.
- Username: The SingleStore database username. Enter admin.
- Password: The password for the SingleStore database user.
  
  Note
  
  For proper authentication, you may need to specify defaultAuth=mysql_native_password in the Others field under the Advanced tab.
- Port: Default is 3306.
Select Test Connection to test the connection. Select OK to save the connection.
