- Open 'File' menu and select 'New MySql Connection Profile'.
- Specify connection name and optional description. You can always change it later in your connection profile.
- Select 'MySQL JDBC driver' from the driver drop down, enter database name followed by the username and password. Also, verify that URL has correct port number and database name. MySQL is using port 3306 by default, but it might be set up differently by your database administrator. You may optionally choose to save password to avoid entering it every time when you connect to database.
- Click 'Test connection' button. 'Ping succeeded' message will indicate that connection has been set up correctly.
