MySQL

Hi I want to be able to access the mysql database over the network which means i will have to edit the mysql start up script and bind an ip address to it and modify the databaseparameters.conf file so that Opmanager will be able to connect is there any other files apart from the mysql shutdown script that i will need to edit?

If i also set the password in the databaseparameters.conf file is this all i need to do? Or I am going to cause a huge number of issues by doing this?

I basically want to access the database from ms sql reportinigservices so that we can write some custom reports form the data that opmanager already gathers without having to write a bunch wmi scripts that will loda the data directly into a sql server database.

thanks

David
