You have to create at least the same tables in MVD to work with the existing database-tables. There is no direct import to MVD

I tried that but before I get out of the gate, it says "Table'xyz' already exists" and it doesn't allow me to define it.

ehwagner,

I checked out your sample last night. Interesting. If you define a table in MVD and then change the backend - add some fields, say. And you don't replicate that on the MVD side and you run it - what happens? Does it ignore it or blow up?

Thank you ehwagner for the encouragement. I'll look at your test db tomorrow. Much appreciated.

Thank you for your response. That's a shame. There are dozens of programs out there. All of them allow you to connect to existing databases. I hope that MVD will add that functionality very soon. Until, then, sadly i won't be able to use it. Otherwise it seems like a great program.

It seems like MVD wants you to create new db's from scratch. It doesn't seem to allow you to connect to an existing db? I can get a connection and see the db's listed in the dropdown, but that's as far as I get. I'm using 10.1.21-MariaDB. Surely MVD must allow you to connect to existing data schemas - yes? Please advise.

And, yes, I've read several other MaraiDB posts on this forum some going back a couple of years.
