Question: I have developed my program with MySQL and Java. It runs locally. Now I want to make it an online application, including MySQL. But how do I get connection to database?

Answer: No problem! Your database always runs "online". Even when it was running locally you connected to it by using "localhost". Now you need to use url.

Something like this:
DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password);
