How to allow multiple users in local network to share a single MySQL database?

  • 0

How to allow multiple users in local network to share a single MySQL database? We even have option of share drive, if it will help.
we are using C# windows application as front end

The limitation is that we do not have acces to our main server. The server is with the other ofice department and we do not want to indulge that department in our project. So, we are on LAN and have a shared drive between us.
And we want to use this database common to multiple users in our office (aprox 100 users) which will use our C# windows application to view data and to enter data.
Can we do something on Share Drive? I am not sure..
Hope it will make some sense..

Thanx

    Here is an excellent guide for unix based servers :

    http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-enable-remote-access-to-mysql-database-server.html

    the same passages are needed for a windows system, you need to enable remote access and eventually grant permissions on a defined IP.

    Remote sharing of the database is disabled by default for security reasons.

    EDIT:
    if you are in the same network, then you may just grant permissions I.E.:

    GRANT SELECT ON mydb.* TO devel2@192.168.1.102 identified by 'mypassword'
