    I assume that you use the Community Edition. Correct? You cannot connect any local resources to that environment.

    OK. The name "localhost" always points to the machine that code is run on. In case of Appian, it is the Appian server.

    You would have to expose your database server to the internet, find that IP address and then you might be able to connect.

    A warning here: Exposing services to the internet will make them being attacked almost immediately! Do not do this if you do not know what you are doing!

    An alternative could be to get an account on one of the available database services and connect those.

    You cannot do that in the Community Edition.
