Read DBD::mysql for proper connect statement. One of them should have a specified location of mysql which can be a network address I believe.

We use MySQL however it is on a different server than the Application will be running. I want to use DBI with MySQL support in order to help handle my perl calls to MySQL, however when I get to the line asking for where MySQL is installed I do not know what to do. Can DBI run on a different server than the on that MySQL is install on? I figure it must be able to since you can access MySQL from differnt Servers. Any help appreciated. Sorry if this question has been answered, I have not found any archives of the list. David ColeyThread Previous | Thread Next
