 * It’s possible but not easy I’d expect. You’d need the credentials to log into
   the remote database.

 * i have credentials for the remote database, but i cant connect 🙁
    i tried with
   my credentials: $connection = mysql_pconnect($host,$user,$pass); if($connection)
   echo “Connected to Database Successfully”; else mysql_error();
 * no connection 🙁
    i can connect trough mysqladministrator but not in wordpress:/

 * The server most likely has a firewall blocking remote connections.
 * If that’s not the case, what is the actual error that you’re seeing? That could
   help to see exactly what is going wrong in your code.
