Connecting to MySQL server on a remote machine using ODBC
---------------------------------------------------------
It will be a good idea to read "using-mysql-databases.txt" before reading this document.
1. Configuring MySQL Server.
No idea, what is the default nature of mysql binding ! I think the default binding is to
localhost. So its good idea to add a attribute to be on a safer side :). Do not complain
me later that, it was not told ;)
# vi /etc/my.conf
Search for [mysqld]. In this section add attribute
bind-address=<your-machine-ip-addr-or-domain-name>
1.1 Grant permission to remote user
enter into mysql
#mysql -u root -p
#mysql> use <your-database1>
#mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON <your-table-name/database-name/*>.* TO \
'remote-user'@'remote-domain' IDENTIFIED BY 'put-ur-passwd';
The privileges can be given to "database" or "table in a database" or "*" all !!
1.2 Test it
Use another machine having mysql client.
# mysql -h <your-machine-ip-addr-or-domain-name> -u remote-user -p
<your-machine-ip-addr-or-domain-name>:Put the ip address or domain name where the server is
running.
remote-user: The user name which is permitted(granted) from this machine to use the
database.
-p : Prompts the password. type the password given at the time of GRANT.
If you are able to see "#mysql>" prompt its a success.
2. Connecting to MySQL with ODBC Driver
2.1 Configure the ini file.
#vi /etc/unixODBC/odbc.ini
Add the entries as follows:
[MySQL-test]
Description = abc
Driver = MySQL
Server = mysqlserver.com //or the ip address where MySQL Server is running
User = mjayant //remote user
Password = abcd //clear password
Database = test //database name
Port = 3306 //port number
* Please do not put the comment the "above" way. That was context sensitive comment ;)
(Saves effort and space)
For some unknown reason the User and password does not work.
2.2 Test the driver.
#isql MySQL-test mjayant abcd
if this gives you "SQL>" prompt you are done :)
3. Connecting with OOo to remote server.
Use the same steps written in section 3.1 of doc/using-mysql-databases.txt :)
