Bostjan: If you have appropriate access permissions on the MySQL server, username and password, you can use the mysql client with the -host= command line option. There are also several mysql clients (xmysql, kmysql) that support the same remost access. Check the MySQL www page, contributed applications, for additional clients.

Hi!

Can someone please tell me how to connect to a remote machine running mysql - can this even be done through network? I have a server running mysql database and I'd like to connect to it from another machine and use the database - but I don't know how to connect or how t set up the necessary permisions ... I read the manpages, but since english is not my 1st language they did not make much sense to me...

Can someone please help me with this.

THX in advance!
