The point of separating the two is that you can then run the client somewhere and and the server elsewhere. So no, you do not need to have mysqld running locally to connect to a remote server. An decent analogy would be that you do not need to have a web server running to surf the web. I'd recommend you not to run anything that you do not need. Each additional server or daemon is a potential security hole. This is certainly true for mysqld, where the default privileges are very permissive. //C - pissed off at procter & gamble for screwing up his shampoo. -- Carl Troein - Círdan / Istari-PixelMagic - UIN 16353280 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://pixelmagic.dyndns.org/~cirdan/ Amiga user since '89, and damned proud of it too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
