[Slashcode-general] How to get Slashcode to connect to a DB on another machine?

[Roy K. <roy...@gm...>]

I've tried everything I can think of, but I don't see how to get Slash
to access a database on another machine.  I am not all that familiar
with Perl or MySQL, but I'm familiar with coding, databases, and
system configurations - so, you'd think I could figure it out by
reading documentation, the Web, and so on.  But no luck.

In the Slashcode book (the O'Reilly book), it says that Slash will
work with remote databases but gives no clue how to do this.  I've
read through the Slashcode and MySQL documentation and have tried
Google searches, but no luck.

Would someone mind giving me a starting point for figuring out how to
configure either Slash to use a database on another node in the local
network or a local MySQL instance to forward queries to the mysqld on
another node?

It can't be all that hard, right?  I'll probably kick myself when
someone tells me how to do it.

Thanks,
Roy
