Connect to remote MySQL database
Connect to remote MySQL database
03 Oct 2019, 10:40
Hi Everybody,
I would like to use remote MySQL database from cAlgo. I have found this cBot but does not works for me.
It returns with "Cannot connect to server" error. I thought the remote access is not allowed to the MySQL, but the owner said it is allowed. So I have no idea why can't connect.
Could someone help me or try it?
Thanks.
using System; using System.Linq; using cAlgo.API; using cAlgo.API.Indicators; using cAlgo.API.Internals; using cAlgo.Indicators; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Diagnostics; // run browser using MySql.Data.MySqlClient; //Add MySql Library and mysql connector(download and install) to references using MySql.Web; namespace cAlgo { [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.FullAccess)] public class Robot1 : Robot { [Parameter(DefaultValue = 1)] public int TimerSeconds { get; set; } private MySqlConnection connection; private string server; private string database; private string uid; private string password; protected override void OnStart() { Timer.Start(TimerSeconds); server = "server IP address"; database = "database name"; uid = "username"; password = "password"; string connectionString; connectionString = "SERVER=" + server + ";" + "DATABASE=" + database + ";" + "UID=" + uid + ";" + "PASSWORD=" + password + ";"; connection = new MySqlConnection(connectionString); } protected override void OnTimer() { try { connection.Open(); } catch (MySqlException ex) { switch (ex.Number) { case 0: Print("Cannot connect to server. Contact administrator"); break; case 1045: Print("Invalid username/password, please try again"); break; default: Print("Connected"); break; } } connection.Close(); } }}

Yes. Of course. I do not want to share the real login creditentals by security reason.
I have tried both server = "http://123.123.123.123"; and server = "123.123.123.123";
where 123.123.123.123 the server IP address
