Connect with SQL Workbench

To connect to SingleStore from SQL Workbench:

Open SQL Workbench, and then open the Connectors window.

In the Select Connection Profile window, select or enter the following information:
- A name for your connection, for example test-connection.
- Driver: From the list, select MySQL (com.mysql.jdbc.Driver). This Driver requires the MySQL Java connector.
- URL: Enter the connection string in the jdbc:mysql://<hostname>:<port> format.
- Username: The SingleStore database username. Enter root.
- Password: The password for the SingleStore database user.
Complete the other fields as required.
