I am looking into created a small desktop VB application that will connect to my UNIX server that runs mySQL.
As the VB application is not going to be installed on the Unix machine, I realized I can't use localhost for this program.
Unfortunately I am unaware of how to add additional hosts that the VB program can connect to. I have read up on TCP/IP connection but nowhere in my readings does it say how mySQL can be conected via it.
Can anyone help me in creating a user that can access my db via a program not connecting via localhost? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
btw ... As my connection program I will probably be using mySQLX which is a Active X component that lets you connect to mySQL servers remotely.
Thanks in advance.
