That is normal if you run the botcore without having mySQL running; the bots will mostly run fine.*

*except for any bots that require a mySQL database.

The botcore isn't magical; you need to have mySQL installed, running and setup correctly in the config files for the connection to be made.

Damn sorry, I should have mentioned this:

I am connecting to an MySQL DB via an external connection (from my computer to a server that I have permission on).

Is it possible to have it connect externally?

That has nothing to do with a database, its an issue with the connection driver (probably a bad jar file or wrong class specified in sql.cfg)
