Can I access my MySQL database from my own computer?
For security reasons, you can't directly access your MySQL database from your own computer. If you really need this functionality, it may be possible. Basically it required you to be connecting to the Internet with a fixed IP address, plus to be able to set up an SSH tunnel for the MySQL traffic (or use the SSL feature built-in to MySQL 4 and above).
