I am trying to connect to a mysql database through GG command interface and am unable to get the DBLOGIN to work correctly. Here is what I am getting:-
mysql world -u root -p<password> (as user OS user mysql- works!)
GGSCI (rac1) 5> DBLOGIN SOURCEDB world, USERID root, PASSWORD <password>
2010-11-08 16:29:17 WARNING OGG-00769 MySQL Login failed: . SQL error (2002). Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2).
ERROR: Failed to connect to MySQL database engine for HOST localhost, DATABASE world, USER root, PORT 0.
I am not too familiar with mysql and will appreciate help and also pointer to documents that walk through setting up and testing Golden Gate with mysql.
Thanks,
Satish
