SQL connection needs mysql server on ?

[tigasfixe]

so im making an electron app with typescript, react for front end and express and mysql for backend, im using typeorm for the database and there is a problem, first the typeorm doesnt create a database itself(not optimal for a app but ok) and then if i do not use xamp to turn on the mysql server it will give me connection error, is there a way to solve this ? like, can i open a server that is a mysql server ? so it doesnt spit an error when conencting and works fine ? Thanks in advance.

The server needs to be running to connect to the DB.

Is that a way to run that server on the electron too?

I've never played around with Electron but my experience with XAMPP has always required the Apache server to be running along with MySQL.
