Yes, you will need to open PNAT forwarding table for 3306 if that is the port you are using to listen on Mysql (default).

It may have been naive of me to assume that anyone who is actually running a server knows enough to know what it means to have a service opened to the world and that through setting up a server they have learned to forward ports for services.
