Hello
I was wondering if there were any reasons why I would not want to just
use MySql as a standalone server, instead of having requests brokered.
The client is a java application, not applet and MySql is behind a
firewall. The client would need to access the database from outside
the firewall. Also, the client would only read data from the db and
never change it. I started writing a java server to broker client
requests, which are all requests for information from the database,
and was wondering if there was any good reason to be doing this,
instead of connecting to MySql directly.
This is probably a dumb question, but this is my first time with db's,
client servers, java, etc...
Thank you,
Wil
