Question

If I have a mysql database on my own pc, I would use the following cnxn string to connect it to my java program :

String url = “jdbc:mysql://localhost:port/dbname”;

But if my database is made over phpMyAdmin, what would be the connection string ?
one other note, the phpmyadmin database is not on my local pc now, it is on another one but both pc are in the same network.

Thanks for any help ..

Replace localhost with the IP of the machine that hosts your database:

String url = "jdbc:mysql://<ip_goes_here>:port/dbname";

As Rutesh mentions, this may or may not be the same machine on which phpMyAdmin runs.
