[R] Can RMySQL run on Windows using a remote MySQL server?

[Steven McKinney]

So the answer is yes.

Install the MySQL Workbench application on your XP box
and work out the URL, account name and password, and
port connection issues to the reomte MySQL database.  
You should then have a MySQL driver available.  

Set up a User DSN or System DSN to the remote database 
using ODBC Data Source Administrator widget in 
Windows administrative tools.  

Install RMySQL, configure and enjoy.

Good luck!
