   mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 6001 -udump -p

Connect to the MatrixOne Server through Navicat

1. As MatrixOne 0.6 is not fully compatible with MySQL 8.0, we reset the MatrixOne server version to 0.6.0 for adapting Navicat connection.

   Before launch MatrixOne, insert the following lines in the [cn.frontend] section of the etc/launch-tae-CN-tae-DN/cn.toml file in MatrixOne folder, then launch MatrixOne.

   [cn.frontend]
   ServerVersionPrefix = " "

   Open a new terminal and enter into the following command:

   #Launch MatrixOne (Source code method)
   ./mo-service -launch ./etc/quickstart/launch.toml

   Note: If you use Docker install method and need to modify this configuration file, please refer to Mount configuration file with Docker.
