Remote connect to clearDB heroku database

How can i perform a remote connect to ClearDB MySQL database on heroku using for example MySQL Query Browser. Where to get url, port, login and password?

Solution 1:

In heroku website, go to My Apps and select the app on which you have installed ClearDB.

On the top corner click on Addons and then select ClearDB MySQL Database. Once there, click on your database and choose the 'Endpoint Information' tab. There you see your username/password. The URL to the database can be acquired by running heroku config --app <YOUR-APP-NAME> in the command line.

In my case, it was something like: mysql://user:pass@us-cdbr-east.cleardb.com/DATABASE?reconnect=true What you need is this part: us-cdbr-east.cleardb.com

Solution 2:

You run heroku config to get the CLEARDB_DATABASE_URL and it should be something of this format:

CLEARDB_DATABASE_URL => mysql://[username]:[password]@[host]/[database name]?reconnect=true

So basically you just look at your own url and get all you want from there. That's how i set up mysql workbench.
