    • Open DBngin and create a new database server by selecting the desired database type (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.).
    • Configure the server settings (e.g., port, version) and start the server.

  4. Connect to the Database Using TablePlus

    • Open TablePlus and click on “Create a New Connection.”
    • Select the database type that matches your DBngin server.
    • Enter the connection details (host, port, username, password) provided by DBngin.
    • Test the connection and save it.

  5. Manage Your Database

    • Use TablePlus to browse tables, run queries, and manage your database schema.
