Connecting external mySql to Google App Engine

I have hosted a database at www.freemysqlhosting.net/. Also, I have a Google APP Engine project , through which I would like to connect to the said database. I read that external requests are not possible in GAE, and one has to use urlFetch. But, without any other server to process some kind of web api, is it possible to do this ?

www.freemysqlhosting.net/, as far as i know, only hosts the website.

If the database can be accessed using an ip address/port combination then all you need to do is enable billing on your application so you can access the sockets apis - and you should be good to go.
