PHP код:

mysql_connect(const host[], const user[], const pass[], const db[], MySQL:handle = (MySQL:0), auto_reconnect = 0);
mysql_connect("hostname","username", "password", "db");

Never use an external database. Especially not a free one like that. This is at least 100 times slower than a local database, and also much less secure because all data is transmitted over the Internet where it can be intercepted. SSL helps somewhat, but it's not a guarantee.

Bottom line: install a local MySQL server, or ask the host to do it. If they refuse, get a better host.

Nothing wrong with using an external database, if you know what you are doing.
If you`re not sure or speed is of the essence, then use a local one.
