What are the Basic Connection Settings for MySQL?

There are two different ways to connect to a MySQL database:

Locally - from a script on the server, to the server for which the settings are:
Hostname: localhost
Username: username_dbuser
Password: dbpassword db_name: username_dbname db_table: dbname_table 

Remotely - from a remote computer, using Shell, ODBC, or Navicat.
The settings are the same as above, but you must use yourdomain.com in place of 'localhost'.
