:unamused: looks like they’ve changed their site. Thanks for letting me know!

Do you have any tool you would suggest to visualize the database (as table, with the relationship, etc.) ?

@nidupb a Google shows MySQL :: Download MySQL Workbench might work for you. Basically any MySQL GUI should be able to help - just use the same credentials as you provide your Vapor app

I’m getting the following error:

Thread 1: Fatal error: Error raised at top level: :warning: MySQL Error: Access denied for user ‘til’@‘172.17.0.1’ (using password: YES)

Docker command used is:

docker run --name mysql -e MYSQL_USER=til -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=password -e MYSQL_DATABASE=vapor -p 3306:3306 -d mysql/mysql-server:5.7

I’ve searched for a solution and was not able to find any.

@0xtim Can you please help with this when you get a chance? Thank you - much appreciated! :]

Hi @oncoas if you’re still having this issue there’s a few things to check. First, do you get the same error if you stop the Docker container? If so that normally means you have another MySQL instance running locally. If that’s unsuccessful, take a look at your configure.swift - does it match the project files?

Unable to find image ‘mysql/mysql-sever:8.7’ locally

docker: Error response from daemon: pull access denied for mysql/mysql-sever, repository does not exist or may require ‘docker login’: denied: requested access to the resource is denied.

See ‘docker run --help’.

You need mysql/mysql-server:5.7 (not 8.7)

You already have some MySQL container or program running on that app

Hi @0xtim
I wan to save an object to my mysql database. The object is created manually. So I don’t have a request. How can I achieve this.

16

@gopeler where are you when trying to save the object? Wherever you’re trying to save it, you should have access to either a Request or the Application which should be enough to get a database connection

17

I have access to app but couldn’t make it to save object. Is there Any tutorial or example for it?
I found it. Incase anyone else needs it

let _ = app.requestPooledConnection(to: .mysql).flatMap { connection in
                asset.save(on: connection).always {
                    try? app.releasePooledConnection(connection, to: .mysql)
                }
            }
18

You can do

app.withPooledConnection(to: .mysql).flatMap { connection in
    asset.save(on: connection)
}

withPooledConnection will automatically release the connection for you.

One point - where are you calling this function? You can probably do .wait() to remove the futures. You can’t throw away the future like that, it will cause memory leaks
