So I am developing an app that I want to let include server interaction. I have installed MySQL server and MySQL Workbench. I am able to query my data base locally from Java. such as local host. but when I change the query correctly, to reference the IP of my server and not "localhost", I am unsuccessful both on my server and separate machine. I have pinged my server from my another machine successfully. I have configured user accounts on MySQL workbench in almost every way possible. I have done a lot of googling with little success.
I am 19 and just starting to learn SQl now. It'sn ot a big part of my project. I am sorry if this sounds like a basic question, but google has gotten me no where and I am really eager to publish my app xP . So I would really appreciate the help or even a basic guide as to what I may be doing wrong.
Most likely, this is because you did not yet assign user permissions for remote computers. You'd have to use something like tyhe following:
GRANT SELECT ON myDatabase.*
TO myUser#’mycomputers.ip.address’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘my_password’;
There's a more extensive guide here:

I'm a beginner in SQL so i'm sorry if the question is too basic.
I just created a database in MySQL Workbench in my computer and i would like to be able to access and modify the database from another computer within my house. I read some solutions but they all require using some external product, is there a way and how can i do this by the MySQL Workbench GUI, or maybe other functionalities from MySQL?
I also installed MySQL community server on the other computer that i would like to connect my database to.
Thanks!
If it's a home network, and both of you are connected via same router, then you can connect to mysql server on the other device using http://ip_of_machine_running_mysql:3306.
ip_of_machine_running_mysql should be the ip of the machine running mysql server.
Worth to note that you need to allow remote connection to mysql if you haven't already done so when you were doing mysql installation.
The steps for enabling remote access differs for your os(windows, ubuntu, mac), but you can easily find tutorials and how to's for changing such configuration.

I have written a program for a client that manages orders for his photography/souvenir business. However, I am trying to implement a DBMS for him so that he can do some analysis of the relevant trends over time.
The client's machine is a standalone Windows 8 PC.
I am attempting to use MySQL as he doesn't wish to purchase MS Access. However, he only wants it to be stored locally on the same machine he takes the orders on. How would I go about setting this up? I am new to database management so some detail would be really helpful!
You can follow MySQL's documentation to install. They have a GUI.
Once installed make sure to add a strong root password.
I would also create a database MyAwesomeNewDatabase specifically for your data. Then create a user for your application to use that is limited to just the database.
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON MyAwesomeNewDatabase.* To 'user'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Then your application can use 'user' and 'password' to communicate. Specifying localhost means 'user' can only log in if on that machine, which you indicated is the case.
You indicated VB.net. You will need to install mysql-connector-net
Then in Visual Studio add reference to the dlls. Codeproject has a good tutorial on this.
You can always use DB at local computer. All you need to do is change the DB config done in your project. Change the address to localhost. I may be able to help more if i get the language you're working upon and the part of code where DB credentials are defined.
You can use Portable MySQL ,probably this Link help to you:
Designing Applications for Portability
You can always use DB at local computer Normally ...
sqlite is better for portable programming!
I know the question I am about to ask is a very stupid once but I am new to MYSQL so please bear with me. Want I want to do is create a database on my local machine and also access/manipulate it from their. I thought MYSQL WB was the all in one tool to do this i.e it will also allow me to create a database and also make a MYSQL server from which to access it. But I came to know the Workbench is just a front end and you need to have a some kind of a seperate MYSQL server module for it to access.
The problem is I can't seem to find any link for a simple a server module on the MYSQL download site.
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ .
It has one Cluster Server but I don't think this is what I am looking for. If anyone could provide a link to the MYSQL server module using which I could connect MYSQL Workbench on my local host, and the steps to connect them that would be great.
The one your looking for is named MySQL Community Edition. The current version is 5.6.14. Just select your platform (mac, linux or windows) and follow the installation guide.
If you wish to have php/mysql then you can download xampp. It includes all the necessary tools. Or if you wish to install it separately then follow this for Windows,
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/
I installed php and mysql on my IIS 7,
Now, I can see the phpinfo() and it all works great, except, I dont know where and what are the connection string details are for mysql.
I am trying to install wordpress (via web platform installer on IIS) and everytime I try to install it, it asks for database details - I understand why its doing that, except, I dont know what they are myself.
After a lot of googling and searching, I am surprised that there are literally NO information on how to do this, no tutorials anywhere, not even bugs on this. Either that, or I'm barking up a different solar system.
Any links to tutorials on how to do this would be very helpful. But most importantly, how do I find the details about mysql?
thanks.
Do yourself a favor and download a proper GUI for working with MySQL, such as SQLYog or something similar and forget that poo of PHPMyAdmin. As mentioned, your username is most likely root without password.
You can search for a program called mysqlinstanceconfig.exe (or something similar, you should have it in your MySQL installation folder) - it allows you to quickly reconfigure your instance and you can reset your login credidentials with it.
About MySQL GUI-s: if I'm not mistaken, there's one free coming directly from MySQL but I'm not sure about that. Forget about PHPMyAdmin, it's the worst piece of code ever written and a HUGE security hole.
As you're running a MySQL server locally, your hostname would be localhost, and you can use root as the username, and put nothing as the password.
So I have been given the host, username, and login information for a MySQL Database. I need a client that I can use to log in to the Database remotely and create/update tables and edit all the data.
I found the MySQL Administrator client provided by them, but it seems you can do everything BUT edit the actual data with it.
Is there anything like this?
Would I be able to use SQL Server Express (or something similar), to connect to a remote server online and do all of this?
with the mysql administrator, you normally get the mysql query browser, which sounds like what you want :)
If you're using OS X or Linux, you can install the mysql client and connect via the console. There are plenty of GUI clients for OS X and Windows (SqlYOG is a good, free one that I've used), just search Google for "mysql client ".
MySQL Workbench works great for me. It allows me to connect to some remotely hosted databases that I have via ssh.
I highly recommend SqlYog Community Edition which inkedmn also mentioned. It handles database administration and query building, and similar enough to SQL Server Management Studio that you won't feel completely lost.
