My table must be acces from many location (in two different town) using a internet conexion.
I thought that must put my table onto a internet server.

Must make an client server query - but, because I have not experience in this domain, please tell me what must start to lern firt of all, to make this possible.

Thanks,
Radu

We cannot give you advices in your application architecture because this exceeds goals of our support.
Feel free to contact us if you have questions on using MySQLDirect .NET.

You will have to connect using a connection string. Go to MySQL.org to learn more about the string. You will need the user/password with the proper permission level.

You will also need to know the IP address of the server. Find out if you have a dynamic or static IP. If the IP is dynamic then you will need the services of IP managers like www.no-ip.com

In your server's router you will need to forward a port to point toward your machine's local IP. Make sure that the DHCP server does not change the local IP. You need to do this: forward port (UDP/TCP) to 3306 with the server's local IP

Once you have the connection established then you can go ahead and connect to your database.
