Connection failure to MySQL db

[fn_guennoun]

Hey,
I recently downloaded the Talend Data Quality product 7.3 for windows in order to preform some data profiling tasks.
When trying to creat a connection to a MySQL database hosted in a distant server, I had an error when checking the connection. The error says I need to change the Database Settings.
How to solve this issue ?

Hi,

it is not a talend issue, it is a MySQL connection error

you need try to connect from the same machine to the same server with the same settings, but using mysql client tools such as command-line client or MySQL Workbench.

possible reasons:

- password wrong

- user have restriction for access from the localhost

Thank you for your answer.

Do I need to be the "root" user in order to connect to the database from Talend Data Quality ?
