Mysql:

MySQL is most commonly used for Web applications and for  embedded  applications  and  has become a popular alternative to proprietary database systems because of its speed  and reliability. MySQL can run on LINUX, Windows and Mac OS.

          By default remote access to the MySQL database server is disabled for security reasons.
However, some time you need to provide remote access to database server from home or a web server.

Step1: First connect mysql root user

        #  mysql -u root -p
           Enter password:
           mysql>

Step2: Create New User in Mysql Command line with password

   mysql> CREATE USER 'mahesh'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Step3: I allow the MySQL user “mahesh” to access all MySQL databases from any remote host.

   mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'mahesh'@'%';

   mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

  (Your changes will now be in effect)

Step3.1: If you want to access single database to user "mahesh" from any remote host.

   mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON  dbname.* TO 'mahesh'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
 
   mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

   (Your changes will now be in effect)
