Access managed mysql database from Mobile app

@BinuJohn

I’m afraid I don’t fully understand what you’re asking about.

If you’re asking if your own authored application can connect directly to MySQL; What language is your Mobile Application written in? It’s likely to have native database connector that you can use to run queries against a DO Managed Database Instance.

As far as I know, it is not advisable to access the managed database directly from a mobile app. For instance, if you are distributing the app to a lot of users, later, the login credentials may be leaked.

The best way is to create a web resource( you can use PHP and JSON) to make the API.

Thanks for your answer.

If you’re asking if your own authored application can connect directly to MySQL; Yes.

I am using java, but i dont to hardcode the mysql username and password within the app. i think its not safe.

any other ways?
