How to connect to local database
Hi,
As you can see I am a complete beginner when it comes to client-server dbms and I am completley stuck even before I have started.
I have installed MySQL and Workbench. Preferences on my Mac (Yosemite) shows that the server has started. In Workbench the only database I can see is called "test". I want to connect to my own database which I have just converted from Paradox into mySQL. This database resides on the same iMac as mySQL (eventually I will move it to a hosting server), but I do not know how to connect to it. I guess in Workbench I choose a new connection under "MySQL Connections". But what do I fill in under Hostname when I am using a local database and how does the database engine know where to locate it (no path name is asked for)?
