Hi, Not sure this is the right place to post but I’m trying to use MySQL workbench to connect to the local mysql database that’s been created using local. In fact, I’ve tried several (Sequel Pro was preferred but it seems it crashes connecting to mySql 8). I cannot establish a connection at all, either through standard TCP/Ip or using a socket/pipe method. Locally, WordPress creates a connection fine but it would be nice to have a good interface/UI to the database. Any steers in the right direction appreciated.

Same issue here, socket connection isn’t quite working.
Not sure if related but I also tried using WP-CLI using the Site Shell option. I tried wp db cli and then got this error which seems to show the socket itself is not working as expected. The site itself is fine on the HTTP side.
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
This is using Local (Lightning) 5.6.3+4270. I’ve tried restarting the site, closing and reopening the app and all that. No luck so far.
Have you tried this? Unable to access database - #26 by afragen - Support - Local Community
It looks like afragen’s linked thread solutions (symlinking the sock manually from the site’s socket to /tmp/mysql.socket) worked for the wp db cli part, which indeed looks like a different problem.
It does not solve the Sequel Pro socket issue which shows the databases themselves but trying to access the databases is unsuccessful as they are all empty or never fully load. Each time you select a database SP throws up an exception dialog like this:

)Are you using the Sequel Pro nightly? It’s needed for MySQL 8.0
Didn’t realize that was a thing, I thought Local would just work with the old one so that was my bad. But then I went down the major rabbit hole of why it’s a nightly build and not a release and why there hadn’t been releases for Sequel Pro in years. Well I guess at some point Local might add support for more apps through add-ons, now there’s Sequel Ace (a fork of Sequel Pro, which doesn’t work as-is either), among other apps out there.
Anyways, the nightly build works so I’ll have to remember that for my other computers.
