I have a solution under development using MySQL at localhost and want to continue testing by using the “live” version of the same MySQL database on a remote server. How can I connect to either the localhost or remote version from the same solution?

Any help would be appreciated.

Steve

If you want to continue with your live db (and not switch over and over) you can just change the url under preferences/url, restart and you are ready to go…
