So excel can connect via ODBC to local dbms, pulled data back with a simple SELECT stmt. I have a Mysql dbms running on the web... can I connect via odbc locally on my home laptop to my web-based dbms? I'm running API to populate my web-based dbms and want to pull that data in excel locally. Not sure if possible.

I am creating an android application in android studio and I am using SQLite as the local database. I am using MySQL database as the application server. I want to be able to pull the data from MySQL into Android Studio to access it and also sync the local SQLite database and the MySQL database.
I do not want to use Web services and php files to connect MySQL, I would like to use JDBC instead, so My question is:
can I use JDBC to this purpose and how?
I have been using MySQL for years and have decided that for a new project I'd like to use something newer liker Volt DB.
I have read all the documentation on the Volt DB website and although it mentions a web client for viewing the structure it doesn't say if there is a way of viewing data live in the database.
Hoping for a web based client like phpMyAdmin or maybe a desktop client like Navicat (Windows) / Sequal (OSX).
VoltDB includes a web interface called Web Studio on port 8080 by default, that provides a SQL interface with tabular result formatting. You could use this to select, insert, update, or delete records through SQL statements or by calling stored procedures.
You can also connect to VoltDB using desktop tools that can connect using the JDBC driver, such as SQuirreL. We are working on an ODBC driver in the next few months that will enable a wider choice of desktop tools to connect.
I am trying to design a database application for my small business. I've created a number of form driven MS Access databases for use before but would like to create a permanent solution in something more advanced & common.
I was thinking of using mySQL for the database and would then program a C# or VB application to be used in Windows. I do not want or need a web based version at this time but the migration to VB.net in the far future may be something I'll look into.
I know I can use a MS Access backend for my windows application without having to install MS Office on any or all the computers the program will be run for.
But here is my question. Is it necessary to install mySQL Server on the PC hosting the database, on all the PCs accessing the database or can I just use the database file as the backend and Visual Studio will have all the necessary tools I need to access it?
If I have to install the server I may just stick with the MS Access database as the needs for an excessive amount of database storage won't ever be an issue.
You'd need to install MySQL server on the Server hosting the database. The clients would then connect via the network. You will however need a driver to access the MySQL-Server with VB.NET on the client machines. A simple DLL-File might be enough, though.
If you are looking for a file-based database solution have a look at SQLite. But you will have to watch out for concurrency issues here.
Need Help.
I made a vb.net project, it is already finished. but my problem is, after i install the project i made to another computer. it can't connect to the database unless the WAMP server is open. is there a way to user without opening WAMP server?
WAMP stands for Windows Apache MySQL PHP. It runs MySQL server, so you need it to access database. Option is that user on another computer runs some MySQL server or connects to web server that runs database required for application.
You could also consider using Microsoft Access database. In this case you don't need server. All database is just in one MS Access file.
I am starting to build a windows phone application which requires data from a remote SQL server database. To improve performance, I have been suggested that I perform a sync with the local database on the phone. So in the sync I can bulk copy from the remote SQL database to the local compact SQL database.
Can anyone suggest what is the best way to perform this sync? Any tools? APIs?
Thanks
