+## 2.3) Setup MariaDB
+
+Create new connection parameters to a MariaDB server:
+
+```File --> Connection Manager --> Settings```
+
+When you click the "New" button on the left bottom corner, you should be prompted to provide the details for the new connection.
+
+Type following setting entries on the right side:
+
+```
+Hostname / IP: 127.0.0.1
+Username: root
+Password = yourpassword0
+Port: 3306
+```
+
+Click on the left bottom corner the "Save" button and on the right bottom corner on the "Open" button.
+
+Next step is to include the database (sql file). Click on:
+
+```
+File --> Load SQL File
+```
+
+If this doesn't work click on:
+
+```
+File --> Execute SQL File
+```
+
+You have to ask the Admins for the database SQL file. This file is not attached on this post.
+
+Press F5 to refresh your DB overview
+
+
+Also check your server configuration in the following path:
+```
+Open my.ini in the folder C:\Program Files\MariaDB 11.6\data
+```
+It should look something like that. Sometimes the line ssl=off are missing.
+```
+[mysqld]
+datadir=C:/Program Files/MariaDB 11.6/data
+port=3306
+ssl=off
+innodb_buffer_pool_size=6030M
+[client]
+port=3306
+plugin-dir=C:\Program Files\MariaDB 11.6/lib/plugin
+```
