For one of my project that I'm current working, I need to sync local mysql databas with the server db. There will be 2 machines which connect to the same db in the server. I use SQL Yog Software for mysql synchronization with the online db. Its currently working perfectly. Currently I have a static IP but when I put the app to the client's machine, I'm not sure he has a static IP. But I want to know do I have to have a static IP for mysql sync with the server db?
Thanks
You do not need to have a static IP. You can create a user (using the User manager) with the host as the client system name as well.
For example:

I cannot reach my MySQL Database instance I created on AWS.
What I tried was to set the public access of the Database to "Publicly accessible" here:
Also I tried to set Inbound/Outbound rules for the MySQL port here:
Honestly I think using "All" ports would include 3306 too. Anyways, I tried it this way because yet it didn't work. I cannot connect to the database via MySQL Workbench, nor can I use a ping request on the given endpoint.
I would be glad if someone here has an idea what I could try else.
This will not work if you have deployed it in a private subnet which has no internet access.
Another possibility is that there is ACLs that is stopping the traffic. Security group only touch the RDS instance, the ACLs control traffic in the entire subnet.
Here is a dev AWS tutorial that creates a web application that stores data in MySQL running on the cloud. It will show you how to setup the database and the inbound rules. Once you do, you can store data or query data from MySQL. Likewise, you can use MySQL Workbench to interact with MySQL on the cloud.
AWS RDS Tutorial
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 am working on a school project in which I have to upload data onto a database hosted on phpMyAdmin.
What's confusing me right now is that I see "localhost" at the top of the page and before I even query the database I see "Run SQL query/queries on server "localhost":"
Does this mean that I'm hosting a server on my computer and accessing the database through that? Because then I query for "SHOW VARIABLES WHERE Variable_name = 'hostname';" and it returns with hostname = webhost330. (It is hosted on webhost330.asu.edu).
I'm extremely confused about what this means. Thanks for any possible help.
I'm very new to databases so forgive me if I'm missing something simple here.
EDIT: To clarify: I'm not at school, I'm at my house. What kind of implications does this have? In other words, what's the difference between this and hosting a database locally?
When I host a database on my computer through the MySQL command line client, I can create database information and it's stored on my computer in files. Does this mean that it's initially stored on localhost and then that data is used to create files on my computer?
And then the equivalent of that for the webhost330 is that the localhost stores the database initially but then uploads it to the host at phpMyAdmin? That is the primary thing I'm confused about.
This exactly means what you assumed. When connected to localhost, you are connected to local MySQL server on same machine. Using webhost330.... you are connected to that remote MySQL server instance, if that is not the name of your own machine. Your own server can be webhost30.etcetc.
Edit
If your website is hosted here: webhost330.asu.edu then MySQL host either being webhost330.asu.edu or localhost both mean the same local MySQL server on your very machine.
Edit based on your update
If you are at home, then localhost means you are connected to a MySQL server that you have installed on your own computer. and webhost30.etc.etc means you are connected to the database you have at your school. Database do allow remote connectivity and if you are connected to school from home, that's a remote MySQL connection.
To remove your confusion, you should use only localhost in your code. localhost at home will mean the development server which is your home computer, and when you take the same code to webhost30.etc.etc then localhost for that server will mean its own MySQL installation. So localhost will work everywhere as long as you don't want your code to connect to a remote external MySQL database server.
Assuming you're at school, and assuming you're on your school network. Then yes, your machine is probably "webhost330.asu.edu". At the very least webhost330.asu.edu thinks "webhost330.asu.edu" is localhost.
To see what "localhost" refers to in terms of MySQL server, you have to look at the URL you are using to connect to the web server.
For example, if the URL is
http://localhost/phpmyadmin
and this instance of phpMyAdmin tells me that the MySQL server is on localhost, this means that the MySQL server is on my local workstation.
If the URL is http://example.com/phpmyadmin, then localhost will mean that the MySQL server is on the same machine (example.com).
i have 3 servers for three applications on aws ec2 using MySql database,
now each of the application is having amember that is client subscription app,
it connects with sql databse that is created in each instance
so in this way every amamber app is having diffrent database in each server,
now we are working with a device ROKU we need to pass the XML attributes from amember to it
to varify the user so he can watch online streaming tv.
the objective
now i need to make one database that will be connected with each server using amember
so each server access one database .
Options
my options are aws RDS ,dynamoDb
Now can anyone put me in the right direction, for that.
in simple Words
need to connect my multiple apps (same app) with one database
HELLLLP
If you need to connect to a mysql database, DynamoDB is not the answer. It isn't a mysql database.
RDS is a mysql database. It connects like any other mysql database. You haven't mentioned what language[s] you are using, however. Googling "connect to mysql with [language]" should help.
I think it would be best to stick with relational databases such as MySQL.
Amazon RDS is a managed MySQL solution, but you don't have to use it for your needs.
You can use one of your EC2 instances or a new EC2 instance as the central DB and connect all the other servers to it for quires. There are pros and cons for choosing RDS over your own SQL server. If you have any questions there, feel free to edit your question and add them.
EDIT according to comment
In order to connect your application with the local MySQL. Your are probably using a connection string that points to either "localhost" or "127.0.0.1"... That is the IP of your local machine. You will have to change it to the remote IP of the machine where the DB is stored remotely.
I'm using glassfish(v2.11) as my application server and I have another machine for mysql database server. Currently I want to separate the app server and db server, so I create a jdbc datasource to point to mysql server, but it doesn't works as expect, by the way, when I create datasource to point to local machine (glassfish app server and mysql db server in single machine), and It works well.
Is there any configuration I need to care of when pointing datasource to different machine which I use to host my database (MySQL 5.1)?
Besides granting the mysql user you'll connect as the proper rights, specifying the host in the JDBC url, and making sure there's no firewall stopping you (default mysql uses port 3306), there should be no difference.
WOW ...restart glashfish app server and it works .. :)
