4. Connect to a Database
After you install your database, you can connect it to Ignition. To get detailed descriptions for a number of different database connections, see Connecting to Databases.
Connect to MySQL
Log into the Configure section of the Gateway Webpage just like in the previous sections.
Navigate to the Databases Connections page.
Click the Create new Database Connection... link.
Select the MySQL ConnectorJ option and click the Next > button.
Enter a Name, Connect URL, username, and password. If you just installed MySQL on the same machine as Ignition you will be able to use the following credentials:
Name: MySQL
Connect URL: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test
Username: root
Password: [whatever password you entered when installing MySQL]
Scroll to the bottom and click the Create new Database Connection button.
