using the online mysql server [closed]

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center. Closed 12 years ago.

I have thought of developing a web-app needing so开发者_StackOverflow社区me database support and do not have a static ip to run servers. Hence i want to know how to use the online database provided by mysql. I have no idea in that matter(except that i know to use mysql).

If somebody can provide some tutorials it will be very helpful

As far as I know, neither MySQL nor any other hosting company provide an online hosted mySQL database service. (Edit: This is not entirely correct. As @Dan Grossman points out, Amazon offers a hosted database service called RDS.)

It would be impractical anyway, as database traffic to a remote server is bound to be very slow. You usually want to run your database on the same server as the web server, or on a neighbouring machine that you are connected to through a fast LAN.

However, running a database server doesn't need to be horribly resource intensive. Chances are you can install mySQL on the same machine your web app runs on.
