This year I have written some exciting php programs that manipulate a database. The programs are copied to my server in Hong Kong where my database sits as well.
Today, I did something even more exciting. I wrote a Visual Basic program that runs on my computer and accesses my database in Hong Kong. To achieve it all I had to do was to enable the database for external access in its control panel, download the MyODBC driver, and use this connect instruction in Visual Basic:
conn.Open "DSN=Hong Kong;server=simpler-solutions.net;uid=???;pwd=???;database=janbase"
I replaced the ??? with my username and password.
To improve my economy slightly my next project is to access my bank's database.
