I am setting up a production server for the first time and would like to make sure I only have what I need for security prepress.
By "interactions" since I'm also new to programming, I think I mean "API calls".
Do I need mysql-client on a Linux (Debian) server to be able to 'talk' to mysql with any programming language? As I think there isn't any point installing the client on the production server if I can remotely send commands from mysql-client on my Mac.
