MySQL connection [message #641836]

Sun, 28 November 2010 11:28

Eclipse User

I have installed Eclipse PDT with the Zend Debugger and SQL Explorer.
I use Apache 2, MySQL and PHP 5.3.3 on a Mac OS X 10.6.5 platform.

I'm an inexperienced Eclipse PDT user. Until now I have used TextWrangler/MySQL Workbench but would like more sophisticated debugging.

I have managed to create a working connection to MySQL using the standard 3306 port but that needed me to allow networking to the MySQL server and I would prefer the more secure UNIX socket method /tmp/mysql.sock.

Can it even be done with the JDBC driver or do I need another connector that doesn't use a URL for TCP/IP? Does anyone have any pointers or web pages that might help me with this?
