How to administer your MySQL Database

You have a few different options when it comes to administering your MySQL Database:

1) The easiest way is to use our PhpMyAdmin tool. This tool provides a robust web based interface. You can perform just about any operation such as executing queries, backups, restores, table creation and much more. You can access PhpMyAdmin by clicking on your database name in the MySQL Databases section and then click on the PhpMyAdmin link.

2) Use a MySQL GUI client such as MySQL GUI or MySQLCC both available from the downloads section of www.mysql.com. Remember to use port 3306 when connecting.

3) Use the MySQL command line interface. This takes a little know how to use, but it is the most flexible by far. To install, you must intsall the MySQL 3.23.52 Server which is a free download from www.mysql.com. Remember to use port 3306 when connecting.
