Hello.

I connect with a remote MySQL database with a program that uses ODBC.

I need to enable security to prevent that someone can intercept the communication between my computer and the DB and read the data I am requesting to the DB.

I've heard that SSL encripts the connection between client and DB, and then if somebody intercepts the communication he can't read it because is encrypted.

I have no idea of how to enable SSL in my connection with the DB. I don't know what I have to do. Can anybody help me?

You need to compile MySQL with openssl.
