Connecting with external database :: Security risks?

Recommended Posts

Hello:

 

I'd like to get some opinions regarding the security risks when connecting to an external MySQL database (db).  I have a website on one hosting service that does not provide a db for me to use.  However, I'd like to use a db for the content.  I have an empty account at another hosting service that does provide a database.  This secondary host does not provide enough space for the website otherwise I'd use it for everything.  Assuming I can connect to this external db, what security risks should I be aware of?  The website won't have much dynamic content.  Thank you!
