I've always worked on how to directly connect to local
MySQL databases with mobile devices (Android and iOS) without the need for an RDC (remote database connector).
In the past, I'd been able to connect to Android using Java drivers (see
here), but I've always wanted to connect to the database with an iPhone.
Until then, I gradually built a driver written entirely in B4X, which is also cross-platform.
It's probably not the most powerful, but just being able to do it gives me satisfaction

PS. Surely
@Erel will say to use jrdc and not connect directly
