# Connect MySQL

MySQL joins PostgreSQL: connect it with a read-only user and the same step-by-step test.

MySQL databases connect the same way as PostgreSQL. Add the host, the port and a user that can only read, and Adea checks the connection before it reads anything.

Each step turns green as it passes, and a step that fails says what to fix, in words you can pass on to whoever runs the database.
