Chris,

Did you settle on a simple PHP script that receives SQL statements from Rev and simply "relays" them on to the localhost MySQL? And then relays raw output back?
(Along with appropriate security measures of course)

The reason I ask is when I first started down the "Rev <-> PHP <-> remote db" path I wrote the SQL, and much of the parsing of the returned data in PHP.

I was trying to make it easy in Rev, just sending requests (similar to function calls, like "getCustomers"), then having PHP nicely format data before returning. It turned into a real headache having to switch languages and dev environments, and deciding what part of the data processing belonged where.

Then, I realized you could just write a simple PHP script that took completely formatted SQL and simply "bounced" them to MySQL... and bounced the raw data back... but have not tried it yet.
