Hey guys.
I'm trying to backup my Railway database using DBeaver and its 'dump database' tool, however I'm receiving the following error:
mysqldump: Got error: 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost:3306' (10061) when trying to connect
Task 'MySQL dump' finished at Wed Dec 20 13:45:05 BRT 2023

Can someone help me ?
Note: the connection to the database has already been made and I can access the entire database, I just can't perform the dump.

I'm already connected, so much so that I can export the data from each table individually to SQL format, I just can't export the database as a whole using DBeaver's dump database tool

Yes, but I don't know how to solve this

I am already connected to the the railway-hosted database, I can read, create, edit and remove data and tables from the database, I just can't perform the dump database operation

Can't connect to MySQL server on '[localhost](localhost):3306'
as per your error message, you are trying to connect to localhost

Exactly, and I am not understanding the reason of this, because I already I'm connected to the database and have all access

I tried passing the connection variables in the 'additional command arguments' field:
-h.railway.app -uroot -p --port 6123 --protocol=TCP railway
It gave the following error: Got error: 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost:6123' (10061) when trying to connect.
Practically the same as before

I would recommend checking out DBeaver's documentation to help you get more familiar with the software

I found the problem.
I was establishing the connection to the database through the Railway connection URL. After switching to establish the connection with Host, the dump databse tool worked.
