Hi all,

I have one doubt, Can we connect to MySQL server from a remote host by
using Perl DBD and DBI modules.?

Is it necessary to have MySQL installed on the remote host also.?


Thanks in Advance.

Yes, it is possible. I did it recently.
You need to have the remote host name, the port, database name , user name
and password.
Thanks

You may need some libraries (but not the server itself) from MySQL
installed on the client (remote host) to be able to compile and/or
install DBD::mysql. See
http://search.cpan.org/src/CAPTTOFU/DBD-mysql-3.0007/INSTALL .html for
details. Installation on MS Windows is also documented there.
