DW in a wamp environment - database connectivity issues

i'm new creating dynamic websites. i'm working missing manual tutorial , setting wamp localhost testing environment. on last step in setting environment, i'm trying point dw mysql database cosmofarmer , database shows in window menu information_schema database (which cannot find in file). database want connect located in mysql/data folder (which default mysql), in dw/databases there's no option browse select it. can see cosmofarmer in phpmyadmin window. there way point dw find dbases in mysql default folder? should put dbases in different folder, or work?

 

any advice appreciated.

best way go in phpmyadmin create new database each site working on. create new user local mysql , give user exact same username , password using live server database same site, give user full permissions database site only.

 

now can create dsn site username , password created, same on server won't have remember edit dsn settings before uploading server.

 

hope helps.
