What is PopSQL?

What are you trying to build? A webapp?

Are you planning on using something like Flask or Django?

Have you tried looking at sqlachemy?

[agile temple]

just a beginner like i mentioned

popsql is used to write the command and stuff and execute it in MySQL (where i have created my database)

[frozen matrix]

I understand that you are a beginner but that doesn't answer my question of what you are trying to build as a beginner.

[agile temple]

im trying to learn

like im learning

[frozen matrix]

What are you trying to learn? Python?

[agile temple]

SQL

[frozen matrix]

The pinned messages in #databases has a lot of good resource

I personally like sqlbolt.com tho

[agile temple]

my doubt has still not been answered.

As for the connection stuff, have you tried going through the docs? https://docs.popsql.com/docs/connecting-to-mysql

Otherwise, you'll need to be more specific on what the problem is. Did you check your credentials? Are you getting any errors? timeout maybe?

[agile temple]

Oh damn

[frozen matrix]

Like these error messages help with the troubleshoot https://docs.popsql.com/docs/connecting-to-your-database#common-connection-errors

[agile temple]

in the tutorial the guy got it connected immediately (its from 6 yrs ago)

kk i will check, thanks @frozen matrix

btw u a python programmer?

[frozen matrix]

idk about any tutorial that you're using but consider following the official docs instead

[agile temple]

freecodecamp guy

hes good so i see his tutorials

[frozen matrix]

I am

[agile temple]

ohh

btw one last doubt @frozen matrix is it possible with the very basics of sql i can create a library of babel? (python and tkinker also included)

[frozen matrix]

idk what a babel is

[agile temple]

basically gets u a book

with any word u type

[frozen matrix]

so just a standard library of books

not sure how basic is "very basic" but sure, if you know how to use joins and where clauses, it should be fine
