Hello!
A lot of people use PHP4 or PERL or C++ and connect *directly using the
script. PHP4 has MySql functions built right in for convenience.
In PHP for example, just do this:
MYSQL_CONNECT("localhost","yourID","yourPassword");
mysql_select_db("yourDB");
$maxi=mysql_query("select fieldname1, fieldname2, fieldname3 from tablename
where ...");
There are more examples from other languages in the archives, I believe.
Cheers!
