I recently downloaded the MySQL server and want to connect to it using VSCode, after i installed the VSCode extension, i still have little idea on how to connect to the server/database. All the guides online seem to cover Visual Studio C++.
When you install the plugin vscode-database you have some buttons in the footer menu bar to connect to your database. When you open the plugin there is a short tutorial how to connect.
