Can't add a new MYSQL connection. What's the matter?!

[renata]

Hi! I 'd like to pose a question regarding adding a new mysql connection in my project.

I want to use a mysql database i created using phpmyadmin. I downloaded the connector required (mysql-connector-net-6.4.3) to help me pull data from my mysql database, installed succefylly but when I'm at the part of creating a new connection I provide all the information (Data Source:MySQL Database (MySQL Data Provider) Server Name:localhost User Name: Admin and my password) i can't find my databasename listed in the database pull-down menu, only a database with the name test is listed.
Have in mind that i have already created a database called my_app and created a table with one record in it.
I have already un and re-install mysql connector and created a new database with a name that doesn't contain an underscore.

Is there someone that can help with this problem i'm having?
Thanks in advance.
Renata

Hi Renata and all, unfortunately I can't answer this, though I do have a similar question which I hope will trigger some questions. I am attempting a connection to a mysql database that I recently moved to a test, mysql cloud environment (meaning, I populated the cloud db with the data from my old mysql db). So, I'm having trouble establishing a connection and viewing the new virtualized database, does anyone have experience with this type of connection? Maybe I'm missing something. Thanks, M
