Hi
I got a shared host where my phpinfo shows MySQL and PostgreSQL extensions enabled.
When I tried to create a database in the hosting control panel, the only option to create a new database is of type MySQL.
When I asked the host regarding missing PostgreSQL database option, he replied that only the client is available - server isnt.
This lead me to think :
Let say I develop everything on my local-PC and I got a host that has PHP with MySQL extension enabled but no MySQL Server.
If I upload the mysql data - frm, MYD and MYI files to document_root, is it possible to code in PHP to access the data using the client API library (libmysql.dll, php_mysql.dll, php_mysqli.dll) alone ?
Thanks

I'm sure it would be possible, since database files contain information just like any other file does. You probably don't need a server to access that information if you have access to the raw files, although it would be more convenient.
