Re: Connecting to my mysql server

First up, let me say I know zip about building a mobile app.
But, I guess security wise, a mobile app could call an API layer on a webserver, using scripts running on the webserver (and accessing the co-located MySQL database) to return xml or json data to the mobile app.
That would allow the scripts on the webserver to be validating the mobile app's access to the info, and keeping access to the mysql database secure.

Good luck,
Barry.
