Hi Vishnu Tewari,

Thank you for reaching out to us on Microsoft Q&A forum.

It appears that the Tailwind Traders database is accessible on the virtual machine but not on your local machine. The module you're following is likely designed to work specifically with the environment provided on the virtual machine.

To proceed:

Use the Virtual Machine: Since the database is accessible there, continue working on the virtual machine as per the module's instructions. This setup is likely configured with all the necessary dependencies and settings.

Local Setup Not Required: If the module instructions don’t specifically require you to set up the database locally, it’s best to follow the steps as intended on the virtual machine.

If you are still facing any issue, please let us know in the comments. We are glad to help you.
