Using a Remote Mysql Cluster without Socat

Hi there,

Is it necessary to use socat for remote Mysql server ?
Can't I just change configs to connect using Mysql remote port?
We have a Proxysql loadbalancer , I can't install Socat on that!
If it's possible how many config files I have to change, Is there a global variable ( Mysql host, Port, Host )?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Did you ever find this out? I've had issues with socat so far and was hoping to use my AWS Aurora cluster.

you only need to have socat if you want that all applications checking for local mysql to connect on the remote sql.
This will make them think that they are using local mysql database server and will have no idea that they are using remote server.
