Sharing a mysql database remotely I want to create a database and share the username and password with a friend who wants to access it remotely over the internet. I have mysql workbench installed but don't really know how to share a db remotely. Step by step instructions would be helpful.
He needs to connect with the hostname (or ip address) of your machine (the MySQL server).

Port 3306 needs to be open so he can get to MySQL.

Can't provide step-by-step without knowing OS of both machines, network connection between the machines, client he will be using, etc, etc.
