CREATE TABLE `wtc_test (
         


        

Answer 1

The wildcard in MySQL usernames/hosts is %, not *. Apart from that, what you specify there is the destination, not the source like when you create a user or grant privileges. So you better specify a hostname or the static IP of your MySQL database server.

And have a try with " around your password, as single quotes would terminate the connection string.

CONNECTION='mysql://pentah:"0p@l"@yourHost:3306/replica/wtc_test';

But if I were you, I would simply change the password. A password is not safe by using the most exotic symbols, it's the length that matters. Have a look at this.
