One more important question, if these privileges are now granted, will it then be possible for me to connect from MySQL client at the local machine to MySQL server at the remote machine? More so will i need to open MySQL server on my local machine before running MySQL client to connect to the remote machine e.g. c:>mysql\bin\mysqld c:>mysql\bin mysql -h coolPlace.org -u clyde -psecretPass Or I will just run the MySQL client to connect to remote machine without neccessarily running MySQL server at the local machine c:>mysql\bin mysql -h coolPlace.org -u clyde -psecretPass Thanks for giving me relieve. -kamal. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
