Hello !  
i’m currently folowing a fundamentals training for dbt and i’m at the step where I have to “deploy dbt”

i’am not able to find the “analytics” connection under “ **connection** ”. I do have only “snowflake”  
As I have only snowflake, I selected snowflake.

but below they are asking for the credential of the database :

I have this error message :

> _1 check failed:_  
> _2 dbt was unable to connect to the specified database._  
> _3The database returned the following error:_  
> _4_  
> _5 \>Database Error_

> _7_  
> _8 Check your database credentials and try again. For more information, visit:_

I have no idea where I can find this credential…  
does anyone know ?

thanks for your help
