Hello All,

I am building a database application using MYSQL as the backend. The MYSQL instance will be installed remotely on a share host. I have access to SSL certificates. I'm obviously not looking for any code but, conceptually, how do I go about securing the connection using SSL between my application and the remote MYSQL database?

Any tips? Things to watch out for?
I don't have a clue where to start!

Many Thanks,
Jord
