I am working on a POC to extract data from some devices and update in a DB. I want Tableau hosted online to connect to this DB and generate reports.
As the first step I want to setup a server ( using my PC for the testing purpose ) and allow it to host a DB ( preferably mysql) so that Tableau can connect to it.
I am very basic in terms of the IT skills.Can anyone help me in setting up this server from scratch?
You can download a mysql client such as XAMPP, install it in your pc and run mysql database, it comes with all the tools you need to do your POC + it's free.

My client has a website hosted on hostinger, He has linked me on his hosting. Database is Mysql. It is a ecommerce business website and I need to get some data from the mysql server through my NODEJS Application
It has a remote mysql feature.
I tried using mysql npm library, but i dont know what credentials to put there. I have no clue how to connect to a already hosted mysql database, It has a remote access feature, which I could not use.
For a school project, we want to create an app using flutter (dart + android studio), and for it we would need a database to which we connect the app.
We have two options :
A MySQL database that's hosted on our school's servers (on a Ubuntu VM, accessible from SSH with a host address, username an password)
Another MySQL database on our school's server, but hosted directly on a server for databases (no VM). For that one, we would have more 'common' logs as the host and port.
Here are the specs of the second one :
Linux Fedora Core 18 //
Apache/2.4.4 PHP/5.4.14 //
MySQL Community Server (GPL) 5.5.31 //
phpMyAdmin 3.5.8.1 (2013-04-24)
My question is, how can I access these sql databases (ideally using the second method) from my flutter app ? I know there's a way to access local MySQL databases from flutter, but as the base will be hosted on an external server, I don't know how to correctly connect and dialogue with it.
Thanks
I faced the same problem. The mysql1 package is not well maintained. Google Dart developers do not provide built-in support of RDBMS.
There is another package to work with mysql, maybe you can take a look. mysql_client
I think that the best solution is to create a restApi on your server to manage your crud operation with the mysql database. There are a lot of tutorials on how to create a node application that lives in your server and interact with your database.
This is also a good solution because you add a layer that manage all the back-end stuff of your application.
I am trying to host 100+ Wordpress websites on Azure. For that I would need MySQL databases and I am confused which route I should go. With quick google search, I found mainly three options
Use MySQL Preview (which is not good for production environment)
Purchase costly third party subscription by ClearDB or Bitnami
Set UP windows/Linux VM and host LAMP Server on it. Host MySQL server there. I am just trying to know if there are any other better options. Thank you.
Update: One primary requirement I have is those wordpress websites are already created and I am migrating them to new hosting. I need separate database for each Word press site.
I would like a mobile application where certain data will be updated by a mysql database which will be hosted on a remote server, it is possible with rhomobile? if so how I can make this link? thank you
We have an android app that currently sends data to a php script which writes to a mysql DB on the same server. We are thinking of using a scalable DB server e.g. FathomDB (which is just based on amazon RDS & rackspace) so that we can handle load increases easily.
The question is how does our android app write to these remote DBs? Do they have some kind of rest API, or allow you to have a php script similar to the one we have in place at the moment?
I'd say most of services like these have a connector running on the web, like the one you are using. But some of the services you mention (for example amazon rds) have a native mysql connection. So you can connect using mysql to the server and run queries like you currently do in php. You can use ACL to ensure security in your application :)
