Hello,

I have a domain named "rombazar.com". I have a MySql database on this host.
Can I connect in some way directly to this database from a HMG application?

Thank you.

If the service provider allows it

The web host is subject to attacks, and therefore administrators do not allow access to the database from the outside, when your presentation works on hosting then the database is local,

MySQL supports to access thru ip address, but this must be allowed

You need a PHP script to connect and access MySQL database. That is the normal and easiest way to do. There are many sample scripts available in the net.

Not always necessarily! I use it only with HMG!
All my MySQLdatabases are acceessed thru HMG.

Your provider must give access to remote or sometimes you need to mention the IP-addresses that will have access. Depends on hosting-policies>

Serge, yes, it is possible. But not advisable for security reasons.

Rathi, can you explain why not and how you do the PHP piece?

Thx, Serge
