Default MySQL from external site

Hi,

I have a website with hostgator and I was wondering how to access the mysql on my website from an external website?

Is it just the config file thatss needs localhost changed?

Thanks

Figured it out,

All I had to do was get the other website to use my IP address instead of localhost in the config file and add a wildcard ( % ) in my remote MySQL file (in cPanel).

Thanks to Davon Da from Hostgator Support
