## **Connection Details**

### **Server**

Specify the hostname or IP address of the MySQL server. If the server is on the same host as the migration tool, use **`localhost`**.

### **Port**

The port number where the MySQL server is accessible. The default port for MySQL is **`3306`**.

### **Username**

The username for database access. The **`root`** user is the default administrative user in MySQL.

### **Password**

Enter the password corresponding to the username provided.

### **Database**

Click 'Select' to pick from existing databases or manually enter the name of the database you want to connect to.

### **Encryption**

Choose **`Not encrypted`** for a standard connection or **`Encrypted`** to secure the connection using SSL. It's recommended to use encryption if sensitive data is being transferred, especially over a public or insecure network.

### **Include views as tables**

If you want the migration process to include MySQL views as tables, tick this box. This is useful if you need to replicate the structure and data of views.
