Software DB Demo.rev & MySQL

[Sarah]

Hi Howard,

localhost is what you use if the MySQL server is running on your own 
computer. If it is on a remote computer, then you need to know the IP 
address. You shouldn't need to use sockets directly. Rev handles all 
that stuff for you in the database routines.

Have a look at the 2 MySQL stacks available on my web site. I have used 
them to connect to local and remote servers without any problems.

Cheers,
Sarah
