Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

If you’re trying to connect with a Database tool you’ll need to change your connection method to Standard (TCP/IP). For example here is a screenshot from MySQL WorkBench.
