You also need to set it in the app/Config/Database.php file.

PHP Code:

  /**
    * The default database connection.
    */
    public array $default = [
        'DSN'      => '',
        'hostname' => 'localhost',
        'username' => '',
        'password' => '',
        'database' => '',
        'DBDriver' => 'MySQLi',
        'DBPrefix' => '',
        'pConnect' => false,
        'DBDebug'  => true,
        'charset'  => 'utf8mb4',
        'DBCollat' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
        'swapPre'  => '',
        'encrypt'  => false,
        'compress' => false,
        'strictOn' => false,
        'failover' => [],
        'port'    => 3306,
    ];
