I noticed the tutorials which demonstrate how to create REST services to update a database inside Appery.io but is it possible to update any external MySQL database (for example, on a web host)?

Hi Nick!

Yes, you can update any externally hosted database in the same way.

Hi Alena,

Can you give me an example? For example, if I create exactly the same table (but in an external MySQL database) as in this tutorial (http://docs.appery.io/tutorials/build...) for connecting to an Appery.io-hosted database table called "Wedding"...I get stuck on this step:

"From Projects view, Create New Database Services, select “Wedding” database"

...because I can only select from databases created in Appery.io.

You'll need to set up this service manually, go Create New Service Create service.

Ok, so that leads back to my original question (because the setup process for externally-hosted db is different than for an Appery-hosted db): Could you provide an example for how to update an external MySQL database?

Based on my limited understanding, the data in an Appery-hosted db is automatically exposed via RESTful APIs...but what if the db is an externally-hosted MySQL database (i.e., on a web host)?

Thanks!
