MySQL with Google Cloud SQL

Question

I am a Visual Basic.net developer and am wanting to have an online MySQL database to store some application attributes.

Does Google Cloud SQL support remote access from applications? Is this an easy service to use and am I correct in saying that the price is $0.10 per Million accesses to the MySQl database?

Answer 1

You can use some free mysql databases for example db4free.net . U can use odbc namespace to connect to ur remote database. It is as easy as using MS SQL db with vb.net

       Dim cn As OdbcConnection

       cn = New OdbcConnection("DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=MySQLServer;UID=sa;" & _
                         "PWD=mypassword;DATABASE=exampledb;")
