Hey!

I have a host that supplies me with one SQL database. I need another and don't want to have to upgrade my current hosting package and pay out more money.

What I want to do is to connect to a remote SQL database. I've had the idea of aquiring a free Lycos Tripod package (in which includes an SQL database), and then connecting to the database via my current server.

Is this possible? And if so, what are the commands in which to connect to it?

Please reply or e-mail me (perferred) at trance4eva@blueyonder.co.uk
Thanks,
TMT.
