good tutorial about connecting LC desktop apps to MySQL without exposing the database

[Matthias Rebbe]

Hi,
i´ve posted this already as a comment to a topic in the Livecode forums, but i thought, this could be also of interest for the people here, especially for the ones who do not visit the forums.

At the Hostm site  there is a good tutorial about how your LC desktop apps can communicate with a MySQL/MariaDB without the need to expose your database by using an api.
The tutorial even includes an api, written completely in livecode server script, which can be downloaded for free. 
You´ll find it here https://www.hostm.com/tutorials/livecode/api-mariadb-mysql <https://www.hostm.com/tutorials/livecode/api-mariadb-mysql>
