hi... i'm trying to get a better understanding of how i can create/use mysql for an app i'm working on. i have a number of servers running perl apps... i want to be able to create a database on a client (database) box, and have the other apps communicate with this database server/mysql box.
i'm trying to get an understanding as to what steps are required to setup mysql for remote access. also what has to be done regarding security for the mysql on the server, to allow the other client apps on the remote machines to communicate with the mysql database. i'm also trying to get a feel for what has to occur in the client app to communicate with the mysql app. i'm assuming that if mysql is setup properly, then i should be able to simply "point" my client app to it via user/passwd/ip/port and it should establish a connection... is there a way to have the mysql database that i'm creating for my test app to only "allow" certain machines/ip addresses to have certain functions. can i also restrict the types of functions for the database, based on userID... i've seen a few articles, but nothing that's really gotten down to the here's how you do it process... i'm trying to get to the step 1, step 2, step 3, etc.... i already realize that if i screw this up..i might get locked out of the database...!!! thanks for any pointers/comments/criticisms/etc... -bruce -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
