Remote MySQL Access

Some partners of mine and I are writing a host-based application,
which would greatly benefit if we could take advantage of a web
services-like function we are formulating.

Unfortunately, this requires a centralized (or duplicated) MySQL
database which can be accessed via several web hosting providers.

In my experience, typically web hosting providers only allow localhost
access to MySQL databases.

Are there any providers who either allow remote access or does anyone
know of providers specifically designed for this function? I did find
one, but it is a "giveaway" when their product is purchased:
http://www.navicat.com

So far, I'm on page 8 of my 110,000-item result from a Google search.

In article <cc**********@n ews.tue.nl>, ne************* ***@canopus.nl
says...
Master/master replication is in 4.1.x (which is not for production last
time I took al ook).


It wouldn't matter - if they don't allow remote access then they won't
allow a connection for replication.

If he's going to be stuck with no-remote connections to it, the easiest
method would be to write a couple pages that let him pull the raw data
over some for of web page query and automate the process.

Meaby have a look at a better/more flexible rdbms that supports
replication?

What are you trying to say?

BTW mysql 4.x supports replication.


Actually all the way back to 3.23.15


Yes but AFAICS its not a distributed database which I suspect is what K
needs.

The sugestion of using a php protocol wrapper to run the queries as if local
could be implemented fairly easily (I reckon about 60 lines of code) and
would be my bet as the easiest solution.

Sorry for stepping back in so late - that's kind of what we decided
on. We'll host a database on siteX with various PHP scripts running.
An applicaiton on siteY will call the PHP scripts on siteX which will
return the neccesary encrypted data to siteY for siteY to consume/use.
We've got it pretty much worked out already. (Caffeine is a wonderful
thing!)

Now if we could only get the stored procedures to work as I assume
stored procedures should work (ie - like DB2 or MSSQL/Sybase)

I have been using MySQL for awhile, and for the first time someone from outside our portable /16 needs access to some tables. We have given them the server IP address, the dB name, the port 3306, the root username, and the password, but they still can't get access. Of course, no firewalls or other things in the way. Is it true that MySQL defaults to local access only, and to enable remote access you must do something unusual with...
