First, let me say that I'm new to MySQL. I have gotten MySQL server and the client apps. set up on a Windows XP box. I have created some new users and I wanted to see if I could connect from another machine in the office. I have read many things on connecting to MySQL but none of them are clear.

Do I have to have the MySQL client applications loaded on the machine I want to connect to the server from?


Thanks,

Yes. You will need the MySQL client libs installed on webserver A to connect to MySQL server A.

Then all you do is type:
mysql -h MySQLSERVERNAME -u USERNAME -p

Then it will ask you for your password. That's it.
