Connection to Mysql from NodeJS on Heroku server

Question

ANy idea how can I connect from NodeJs to the Mysql ClearDB on Heroku?

I was able to connect to the ClearDB Mysql runing on Heroku from Navicat, I even created a table called t_users. But I'm having problems connecting from NodeJs from Heroku.

This is my code, it is very simple: everything works find until it tries to connect to MySQL

web.js:

var express = require("express");
var app = express();
app.use(express.logger());

var mysql      = require('mysql');
var connection = mysql.createConnection({
  host     : 'us-cdbr-east-04.cleardb.com',
  user     : '',
  password : '',
  database : ''
});

connection.connect();

app.get('/', function(request, response) {
  response.send('Hello World!!!! HOLA MUNDOOOOO!!!');
  connection.query('SELECT 1 + 1 AS solution', function(err, rows, fields) {
      if (err) throw err;

      response.send('The solution is: ', rows[0].solution);
    });
});

var port = process.env.PORT || 5000;
app.listen(port, function() {
  console.log("Listening on " + port);
});

This is what I got when I run on the command line: Heroku config

C:\wamp\www\Nodejs_MySql_Heroku>heroku config
=== frozen-wave-8356 Config Vars
CLEARDB_DATABASE_URL: mysql://b32fa719432e40:[email protected]/heroku_28437b49d76cc53?reconnect=true
PATH:                 bin:node_modules/.bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

Try this. Hope this will help you

mysql://b32fa719432e40:[email protected]/heroku_28437b49d76cc53?reconnect=true

var connection = mysql.createConnection({
  host     : 'us-cdbr-east-04.cleardb.com',
  user     : 'b32fa719432e40',
  password : '87de815a',
  database : 'heroku_28437b49d76cc53'
});

Use this details and connect it in mySQL work bench, and import your localhost db
