Revolution can act as a MySQL client and connect to a MySQL server. The server can be running on your computer, on another computer in your network, or on another computer anywhere on the internet. Wherever it is, you need to supply an address for Rev to connect to. If the server is on your own computer, it can be "localhost" or "127.0.0.0".
Then you have to have permission to access each database. Permission can include not only your name but the IP address you are connecting from. If you can, I recommend installing MySQL server on your own computer for testing purposes.
At my web site, I have two Rev stacks for testing MySQL: MySQLtests.rev is the more complete and has an help section that gives a bit of information about installing but I only use OS X and I don't know how much of this translates to other platforms. The information about setting up permissions should work anywhere.

I've tried a couple of times to use mySQL but I can't get to first base.
When I open RR Database query builder I see two tabs: Connection and Record set.
Does this imply that mySQL works only with web based data? (Yes, I've read the article in the Revolution Encyclopedia.)
