Stephanie, Connector/J takes advantage of client/server architecture over TCP. This means that the MySQL server could exist on one machine (a server), and the client application(s) can connect to it via TCP and Connector/J from anywhere that has a TCP route to the MySQL server.
If Connector/J is being used in the application then the answer is, no, you do not have to install MySQL on the client machine unless the client machine is also the server machine. -Leo On Thu, 2002-10-10 at 05:59, Stephanie Piet wrote: > Does anyone know if there's a way in MySQL have the same functionality > without installing the whole program on a users machine?
