Create a database server

If an alternative DBMS or version is needed, it should be installed.

Supported alternative MySQL DBMS:

  • MySQL 5.5;
  • MySQL 5.6;
  • MySQL 5.7;
  • MySQL 8.0;

    • Remote access (checkbox) - enables remote access to the database server;
    • IP-address– select the IP address that the MySQL server will work with;
