At work I have access to a particular database only from a particular host, say X. I would like to write a little script to view the data. The script would be running on host Y. Is it possible to somehow get a program running on host Y to get access to the database?
As a limiting case, I could write code that runs on host Y and establishes a telnet session to host X, then runs the mysql client and accesses the database like that.
What I'm wondering is if there is a cleaner and simpler way, for example to set up some sort of proxy server on host X that will establish a connection with the mysql database and then relay requests and responses back and forth to my code on host Y.
Thanks for any suggestions or pointers. The code I write will be Perl or Java. I can write and run any code I want on both hosts X and Y.
