Re: Can I connect to a MySQL Database on a unix platform from a PC?
Hi, I've been able to connect from an Windows XP to a HP Solaris and LINUX. Make sure that you can ping the UNIX computer from yours. Then replace the computer name in the connection string (most of the time is localhost) for the UNIX computer's ip address (you can use the name if you have DNS resolution) but ip will make the connection faster. Now you can connect, you must set up the permission for your database for the user connecting through the network. The easiest thing is give the appropiate permission to all hostnames. There are some very good examples in MySQL's manual. Good Luck! --- Liqiang Feng [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As a potential MySQL customer, I am trying to find the answer to the question Can I connect to a MySQL Database on a unix platform from a PC through TCP/IP network?

Actually, it might help if you install MyODBC (http://www.mysql.com/products/myodbc/index.html) on the win32 machine. Mark R.

Can I connect to a MySQL Database on a unix platform from a PC?
As a potential MySQL customer, I am trying to find the answer to the question Can I connect to a MySQL Database on a unix platform from a PC through TCP/IP network? If the answer is yes, what other additional supporting software will be needed on the Unix platform and on the PC? Any pointers, examples are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

All you need on the PC end is MyODBC, downloadable at http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-myodbc-2.50.html .

As a potential MySQL customer, I am trying to find the answer to the question Can I connect to a MySQL Database on a unix platform from a PC through TCP/IP network? If the answer is yes, what other additional supporting software will be needed on the Unix platform and on the PC? Any pointers, examples are greatly appreciated. The answer of this question is yes, I think there are lot of PC apps that can help you connect to mysql DB; I am using MySQL-Front on my PC to connect to MySQL DB on Linux, it is working fine. What you will need on your unix system will be mysql client library. Hope this help.
