[GRASSLIST:119] Connecting to remote MySQL server

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I compiled GRASS 6.1 with MySQL support, and I have the option to 
connect to a MySQL database. But it seems that I can only connect to a 
locam MySQL database, as in the db.connect, I didn't find any parameter 
for host name which I could specify.

Can I connect to a remote MySQL database (I guess I can...) and if yes, 
how; where can I specify the host name of the MySQL server?

Thanks,

Rainer
