MySQL workbench was working properly till last login(yesterday). When I tried to open an existing connection(today), this error was popped up. I was trying to convert tables from MSSQL to MySQL yesterday.

Solution

  • This is not about the normal login but migration in MySQL Workbench. This part uses separate logins to source and target servers. If your connection to the MS SQL server worked yesterday and you didn't change anything in MySQL Workbench then it is very likely something with your MS SQL server happened. So, someone needs to check if that server is still running properly and can be accessed from your machine.
