Databases

I’m trying to make a login forum that will connect to a MySQL database. The problem is I have no idea where to start, I have a table created in the database called login, which has ID as int, and username and password as varchar(45)

Dim db As New MySQLCommunityServer db.Host = "142.44.211.124" db.Port = 3306 db.DatabaseName = "Union" db.UserName = "unionscooper" db.Password = "set1234" If db.Connect Then

So, help me understand what you’re asking.

Edit: Oh, no, you’re just sharing your connection details.
Yeah, you need to do a LOT of reading on securely storing passwords. Storing them in plain text is unacceptable.
