MySQL open remote access

[Jellicle]

I'm building a LiveCode iOS app that needs to access a MySQL server. Trouble is, remote access to that server needs to be set so access is possible. I've currently added the wildcard host %.%.%.% to the (cPanel) remote access config for the database so I can get on with developing the thing, but that's probably not a good idea, right? How else do I give general remote access to a MySQL database?

Hi Jellicle,

this may not help, but most ISPs do not allow direct NON local access to their MySQL databases!
That means that you will need something between your app and the database like a PHP,
Perl, iRev etc. script!
