 * Hello Peter,
 * I want to set my webapplication up on a real server now. Therefore i installed
   wordpress on the server and added the plugin. I use a mariaDB Databases and set
   up one for my own data in the same installation place as wordpress.
    In the plugin
   the database doesn’t show up. Do you know why that could have happened?
 * In my local setup this worked out fine. I don’t get where the difference is.
   
   Is the problem maybe that i have now a password for the root user to connect 
   to MariaDB?
 * Thanks in advance.
    Chiara

 * Hi Chiara,
 * What do you see when you start the Data Explorer? Are all tools available? Are
   your tables located in the WordPress schema? Or in another schema?
 * Can you add some screenshots? Please use the contactform on the plugin website
   if you prefer to send them in private.
 * Thanks,
    Peter

 * Found the problem. Permission for wordpress to use my database was missing.
