How to fix the Azure MySql flexible server error "Failed to load MySQL flexible server databases" despite of many attempts.

Hi Azure Sopago

Greetings!

As we understand that, you are running into the "Failed to load MySQL flexible server databases" error on the Azure portal, and you're also encountering an SSL connection error when trying to access the server with MySQL Workbench.

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

• Check SSL Configuration: Since you're getting a "wrong version number" SSL error, ensure that your MySQL Workbench is configured to use TLS 1.2. Azure Database for MySQL Flexible Server requires encrypted connections using TLS 1.2 and will reject connections using older TLS versions.
• Firewall Settings: Make sure that the client IP address you are connecting from is allowed in the Azure Database for MySQL Flexible Server firewall settings. You can check this in the Azure portal under the Networking settings for your MySQL server.
• Restart the MySQL Server: Sometimes simply restarting the MySQL server can resolve transient issues. This allows InnoDB’s crash recovery mechanism to kick in and potentially resolve any underlying faults.
• Check Connection Parameters: Ensure that the connection string and credentials are correct when attempting to connect using MySQL Workbench. Any small typo can lead to connection issues.
• Inspect the Server Logs: Check the server logs to see if there are any errors or warnings that could provide additional context. This would be in the "Diagnostic settings" or "Logs" settings under your MySQL server in the Azure portal.
