Are you referring to using another hosting's SQL? For example, Hosting site B is using hosting site A's SQL?

This is called remote connecting to database and if the hosting company allows remote connection to database, then yes. But majority of hosting companies do not offer because of the security reasons.

With Trap17 hosting you are able to use Trap17 hosting as a remote database but it's at your risk. Please refer to our hosting member area for more information.

Thanks for the information.
I still need to know how to "call" the database...
Usualy is LOCALHOST - USERNAME - PASSWORD
How do you call a database on another host?

You could use the connect test code below

CODE
<?php
$link=mysql_connect('221.133.22.11','root','123456');
if(!$link) echo "connection failure";
else echo "Connection success";
mysql_close();
?>


You should replace "221.133.22.11" with your remote mysql server's IP.
"root" will be replaced with your remote mysql server's username.
"123456" will be replaced with your remote mysql server's password.

It's not a good idea to connect a remote mysql server I think, anyone of server down, your site will down, and transfer your account infomation through internet is really a dangrous action.

here is the basic and simple php script to connect mysql database
CODE
<?php
$server = "";//database server name
$database = "";//database name
$username = "";//data base user name
$password = "";//database password
$connection = mysql_connect($server,$username,$password);//to connect the msql server
mysql_select_db($database,$connection);//to select data base
mysql_close();//close the mysql server after use
?>

Yeah, just use the scripts above to accomplish what you need. It is very simple since lots of hosts do not even have their own local mysql server. For instance, godaddy gives you the ip for their sql server and you have to use that instead of localhost in your script. It helps keep loads down on very popular servers and such.

Well im fairly sure there are flat-file style MYSQL databases... I cant remember the name but try google...

It doesnt require a database server to run, it somehow converts the MYSQL commands (they might vary slightly from normal DB code) into file read-write commands and then uses ordinary (but encoded) files to store the data and then reads and writes to those files so it should work perfectly on your set up.

Try google for "flat file database mysql" or something similar.

    The only reason i choose ms sql server rather than mysql is, MS SQL has more security

    developed some application to support chinese letter, and dont know how to build one in mysql - Lack
    in t-sql syntax, like query in query is not fully supported - Does not have today SQL features like
