Attach MySql database via internet

Hie !

Please, how to manage (attach,connect to) MySql database located on host server http://www.avanti.si from my home PC with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express? This "http://www.avanti.si:8080\MySqlDatabaseName,3306" fail !

Thenks!

hi,

you should ask you provider about connection info..

assuming the "server" is named and available as "www.avanti.si" and 3306 is the port you have to use to connect to, you should provide that info in the SQL Server MAnagement Studio Express connection dialog as

www.avanti.si,3306
in the server property, and provide your SQL Server standard login and pwd.. in the "options" tab you can, but is not mandatory as the <default> value will be resolved as tcp/ip, set the network protocol as tcp/ip and specify the "connect to database" property to "MySqlDatabase", but this one should be resolved as well without your intervention becouse you should be usually only grated db access to your db, MySqlDatabase...

you have to verify the www.avanti.si is the actual SQL Server instance name as well, and I doubt about it..

Actually, you can't connect directly to MySQL database, Management Studio is designed for use with SQL Server. You can create a linked server to any database that offers an OLEDB provider, which I believe MySQL has. The linked server will allow you to query your data from MySQL, but not manage the database.
