Is it possible connecting open dental to a remote database?

Post by victoracho » Thu May 16, 2024 12:21 pm

Hello there, Im wondering if its possible to connect open dental to a remote database, in the case of the company Im working with, we connect on a local database used on a windows VPS. I want to migrate this database to a dedicated server. so no matter where I install my open dental client, I can connect to this db, is that possible ?

Would be a security nightmare if connection is not properly secured and encrypted.

Sure. There are things like Middle Tier and MariaDB SkySQL.
The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.
