5.1 Connecting from the Console

Connecting to a DB System from the MySQL HeatWave Console requires a Oracle Cloud Account user name and password for signing into the MySQL HeatWave Console, and a MySQL user account for connecting to the DB System.

Use the MySQL Administrator user specified when creating the DB System, see Section 3.2, “Creating a DB System”, or use a MySQL user account created on the DB System using CREATE USER. Otherwise, ask the MySQL Administrator to create an account.

Use the Workspaces page to connect to a DB System, and then manage HeatWave Cluster data and use the Query Editor to run DB System and HeatWave queries. For more information, see Chapter 7, Manage HeatWave Data with Workspaces, and Chapter 8, Running Queries.

To connect to a DB System from the MySQL HeatWave Console:

1. Sign-in to the MySQL HeatWave Console. For instructions, see Section 2.3, “Signing In”.

2. Select the Workspaces tab in the MySQL HeatWave Console, and then click Connect to MySQL DB System.

3. Select a DB System from the drop-down menu.

4. Enter a MySQL user name and password for the DB System.

5. Click Connect.

To disconnect, click Disconnect.
