[fpc-pascal] remote mysql connection

[Wolfram Kläger]

I am trying to get access to a remote MySQL database via sqldb and
mysql50conn, ending up with 'EDatabaseError, Server connect failed.'

Probably naive to assume, the fcl-db units work with a remote server as
well as with localhost. For FTP up-/downloads I am using the Synapse
toolkit successfully. Can anybody provide a working demo, how to mysql
over synapse, or how to connect to a remote MySQL server at all?

Any help appreciated
