How do I fix the "No Such File or Directory" error when connecting to my database?

A No Such File Or Directory error occurs when you enter your database’s connection string directly into the terminal, instead of prepending it with psql, mysql, redli, or mongo, depending on your database.

If you are getting this error, prepend your connection string with the client command corresponding to your database. To find the connection method for your database, see the following guides for PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, and MongoDB.
