How to connect to a remote MySQL database with Java?

Question

I am trying to create a JSF application using the Eclipse IDE. I am using a remote mySQL server as my database. How do I connect to this remote database for creating tables

Answer 1

Plus, you should make sure the MySQL server's config (/etc/mysql/my.cnf, /etc/default/mysql on Debian) doesn't have "skip-networking" activated and is not binded exclusively to the loopback interface (127.0.0.1) but also to the interface/IP address you want connect to.

Answer 2

to access database from remote machine , you need to give grant all privileges to you data base.

run the following script to give permissions: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON . TO user@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
