Do I need mysql-client for PHP/Python etc interactions?

Question

I am setting up a production server for the first time and would like to make sure I only have what I need for security prepress.

By "interactions" since I'm also new to programming, I think I mean "API calls".

Do I need mysql-client on a Linux (Debian) server to be able to 'talk' to mysql with any programming language? As I think there isn't any point installing the client on the production server if I can remotely send commands from mysql-client on my Mac.

如果您希望在生产服务器上运行的代码可以连接到mysql数据库，则可以。
