mysql_database import operation timeouts on terraform refresh action for the provider.

Terraform Version

terraform: 0.12.15
+ provider.mysql v1.9.0

Affected Resource(s)

mysql_database
1. importing on the above resource doesn't work.
2. code works and tested for plan and apply actions on new database instances.

This has previously been an issue in terraform core, but their ticket seems to have been closed for a while now. https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/11264

After testing numerous ways including the recommended input=false approach, I still cannot get a valid import to work.

Expected Behavior

The provider is able to receive the provided data sources and able to refresh successfully in order for the import command to be successful.

Actual Behavior

Timeouts seem to point to localhost, despite being given an endpoint, username and password from data resources.

Steps to Reproduce

terraform import -input=false 'module.mysql_container.mysql_database.db["container"] container or terraform import 'module.mysql_container.mysql_database.db["container"] container
