I am very new to SQL and Ignition. I followed the tutorial directions to a “T” for MySQL and I get the following error:

Cannot create PoolableConnectionFactory (Unknown database ‘test’)

Is there something I need to create in the MySQL Workbench?

Thanks for the help.

Yes, you need to create the database called “test”.

Best,

That worked!

But the tutorial says it’s a default file that was downloaded with MySQL, its not.
