APPLIES TO: Azure Database for MySQL - Single Server

Important

Azure Database for MySQL single server is on the retirement path. We strongly recommend that you upgrade to Azure Database for MySQL flexible server. For more information about migrating to Azure Database for MySQL flexible server, see What's happening to Azure Database for MySQL Single Server?

This quickstart demonstrates how to connect to an Azure Database for MySQL using the MySQL Workbench application.

Prerequisites

This quickstart uses the resources created in either of these guides as a starting point:

Important

Ensure the IP address you're connecting from has been added the server's firewall rules using the Azure portal or Azure CLI

Install MySQL Workbench

Download and install MySQL Workbench on your computer from the MySQL website.

Get connection information

Get the connection information needed to connect to the Azure Database for MySQL. You need the fully qualified server name and login credentials.

Log in to the Azure portal.
From the left-hand menu in Azure portal, select All resources, and then search for the server you have created (such as mydemoserver).
Select the server name.
From the server's Overview panel, make a note of the Server name and Server admin login name. If you forget your password, you can also reset the password from this panel.

Connect to the server by using MySQL Workbench

To connect to Azure MySQL Server by using the GUI tool MySQL Workbench:

Launch the MySQL Workbench application on your computer.

In Setup New Connection dialog box, enter the following information on the Parameters tab:

Setting	Suggested value	Field description
Connection Name	Demo Connection	Specify a label for this connection.
Connection Method	Standard (TCP/IP)	Standard (TCP/IP) is sufficient.
Hostname	server name	Specify the server name value that was used when you created the Azure Database for MySQL earlier. Our example server shown is mydemoserver.mysql.database.azure.com. Use the fully qualified domain name (*.mysql.database.azure.com) as shown in the example. Follow the steps in the previous section to get the connection information if you don't remember your server name.
Port	3306	Always use port 3306 when connecting to Azure Database for MySQL.
Username	server admin login name	Type in the server admin login username supplied when you created the Azure Database for MySQL earlier. Our example username is myadmin@mydemoserver. Follow the steps in the previous section to get the connection information if you don't remember the username. The format is username@servername.
Password	your password	Select Store in Vault... button to save the password.

Select Test Connection to test if all parameters are correctly configured.
Select OK to save the connection.
In the listing of MySQL Connections, select the tile corresponding to your server, and then wait for the connection to be established.

A new SQL tab opens with a blank editor where you can type your queries.

Note

By default, SSL connection security is required and enforced on your Azure Database for MySQL server. Although typically no additional configuration with SSL certificates is required for MySQL Workbench to connect to your server, we recommend binding the SSL CA certification with MySQL Workbench. For more information on how to download and bind the certification, see Configure SSL connectivity in your application to securely connect to Azure Database for MySQL. If you need to disable SSL, visit the Azure portal and select the Connection security page to disable the Enforce SSL connection toggle button.

Create a table, insert data, read data, update data, delete data

Copy and paste the sample SQL code into a blank SQL tab to illustrate some sample data.

This code creates an empty database named quickstartdb, and then creates a sample table named inventory. It inserts some rows, then reads the rows. It changes the data with an update statement, and reads the rows again. Finally it deletes a row, and then reads the rows again.

-- Create a database
-- DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS quickstartdb;
CREATE DATABASE quickstartdb;
USE quickstartdb;

-- Create a table and insert rows
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS inventory;
CREATE TABLE inventory (id serial PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(50), quantity INTEGER);
INSERT INTO inventory (name, quantity) VALUES ('banana', 150);
INSERT INTO inventory (name, quantity) VALUES ('orange', 154);
INSERT INTO inventory (name, quantity) VALUES ('apple', 100);

-- Read
SELECT * FROM inventory;

-- Update
UPDATE inventory SET quantity = 200 WHERE id = 1;
SELECT * FROM inventory;

-- Delete
DELETE FROM inventory WHERE id = 2;
SELECT * FROM inventory;

To run the sample SQL Code, select the lightening bolt icon in the toolbar of the SQL File tab.
Notice the three tabbed results in the Result Grid section in the middle of the page.
Notice the Output list at the bottom of the page. The status of each command is shown.

Now, you have connected to Azure Database for MySQL by using MySQL Workbench, and you have queried data using the SQL language.

Clean up resources

To clean up all resources used during this quickstart, delete the resource group using the following command:

az group delete \
    --name $AZ_RESOURCE_GROUP \
    --yes
