I am trying to connect to SQL database located in the same directory as in my app.R file but I get the following error if I try to connect. 

con <- dbConnect(RMySQL::MySQL(), dbname = "super_data")

Error in .local(drv, ...) : Failed to connect to database: Error: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (0)

mydb = dbConnect(MySQL(), user='root', password='', dbname='super_data.sql', host='localhost')

Error in .local(drv, ...) : Failed to connect to database: Error: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (0)

Try with the following code:

conn <- RMySQL::dbConnect(RMySQL::MySQL(), user = "root", password = "mypassword", dbname = "mydatabase", host = "127.0.0.1", # Instead of localhost port = 3306) # Default MySQL port

Hope this can help

It is just a .sql file lying in the same directory do I need to host it somewhere before running this line?
