8,612 PointsMAMP, MySQL and SQL Pro
I've downloaded MAMP from the previous PHP courses. Included with it is MySQL Workbench as Sequel Pro.
In the Databases Deep Dive, Andrew is showing how to connect to a server...since I have MAMP, do I need to do any of this? I opened Sequel Pro, did a socket connection, and it took me to the UI of Pro...am I good to go from here, or no?
Sorry, just pretty confused at this section. Been reading a lot of fixes but a lot of it is over my head.

8,612 PointsI actually figured it out running MAMP...you run a socket connection on Workbench and set the path to /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock....username and password are both root. Thanks for responding though!
