To find the connection string for a MySQL database, you generally need to know the following details:

Host: The server where your MySQL database is hosted. This could be a local server (localhost or 127.0.0.1) or a remote server address in cloud services.
User: The username you will use to connect to the database.
Password: The password associated with the username.
Database Name: The specific database you want to connect to.
Schema Name: In MySQL, a "schema" is essentially another term for a "database." Not required in setup.
Port: The port number on which MySQL is running. By default, it is 3306.

Depends on where your MySQL database is hosted, here is more details to help you find the information:

Amazon Web Services (AWS) - Amazon RDS

Go to the RDS dashboard in your AWS Management Console.
Select "Databases" and then choose your MySQL instance.
Under the "Connectivity & security" section, you will find the endpoint (host) and port.
The username and password are the ones you set up when creating the RDS instance.
The connection string format: mysql://username:password@endpoint:port/database

Microsoft Azure - Azure Database for MySQL

Navigate to the Azure portal and go to your MySQL database resource.
Under "Settings", select "Connection strings".
Azure provides you with connection strings in various formats (PHP, JDBC, ADO.NET, etc.). You can use these directly or modify as needed.
The format is usually like: Server=servername; Port=3306; Database=myDataBase; Uid=myUsername; Pwd=myPassword;

Google Cloud Platform - Cloud SQL

Open the Google Cloud Console and go to the SQL section.
Select your MySQL instance to see its Overview page.
Here, you'll find the "Instance connection name", which is used in the connection string.
You'll also need to set up the username and password if you haven't already.
The connection string format generally looks like: username:password@tcp(project-id:region:instance-name)/dbname

To find the connection string for a PostgreSQL database, you generally need to know the following details:

Host: The server where your PostgreSQL database is hosted. This could be a local server (localhost or 127.0.0.1) or a remote server address in cloud services.
User: The username you will use to connect to the database.
Password: The password associated with the username.
Database Name: The specific database you want to connect to.
Schema Name: Unlike MySQL, where a schema is synonymous with a database, PostgreSQL allows multiple schemas within a single database. Each schema can contain tables with the same name, as they are considered distinct as long as they reside in different schemas. It's recommend to add "Schema" column when you set up the data source.
Port: The port number on which PostgreSQL is running. By default, it is 5432.

Depends on where your PostgreSQL database is hosted, here is more details to help you find the information:

Amazon Web Services (AWS) - Amazon RDS

Configure Network and Security Settings

VPC Security Groups: Ensure that your Redshift cluster is associated with a VPC security group that allows inbound traffic on the port Redshift is using (default is 5439) from your IP address.
Publicly Accessible Setting: If you need to connect to Redshift from outside the VPC (e.g., for development purposes), the cluster must be set to be publicly accessible.
IAM Roles: If your application requires access to other AWS services like S3, ensure that the appropriate IAM roles are attached to your Redshift cluster.
