As Ross points out, as long as it can be contacted by name, or by IP address, it's perfectly OK for it to be the other side of a firewall, for example. I sometimes run Django code on my laptop against the database I use to support my public web site, though in that case I have taken the additional precaution of having the database require a digital certificate before it allows access. That's PostgreSQL, so I couldn't quote you the mechanics you'd need to do the same on MySQL. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
