You probably mean SSH tunnel, which is quite feasable-- Hank Marquardt

Works just fine ... as does postgres --
ssh -N -2 -f -C -c blowfish -L3306:yourdatabase.server.here:3306

or the other usual tricks work too ... like going through a firewall
(fyi ... clear text on the *other* side of the firewall):
ssh -N -2 -f -C -c blowfish -L3306:db_behind_thefirewall:3306

The only oddity is that you will have to use the local host *address*
127.0.0.1 to connect from the mysql client as it normally looks for a
local socket if you use 'localhost', so your connection will be:
mysql -h 127.0.0.1
for postgres examples, change the port numbers (3306) to 5432

What if you were to open an SSL tunnel to the DB host, then connect
through
that???
