If you're using the MySQL commandline program you do:

mysql --host=host.domain.tld -u user <database_name> -p [supply password at
prompt]

If you're using a programming language it depends on the programming
language you're using.  In your code you need to specify the hostname of the
other server and the port if MySQL isn't running on port 3306 on the other
server.  But there's nothing special to setup on the RaQ4 (or any other
server for that matter) to allow it to connect to MySQL on another server so
long as you don't have a firewall blocking outbound access to the MySQL
port.
