Build in GUI for mySql

[1andyw]

Hi,

My host doesn't include a mysql client. I had been accustomed to using phpmyadmin.

Does a stock install of mysql 4 include a GUI of any sort?

no it does not.

I searched our threads but came up blank. How can I access the hosted mysqldb from my desktop via command line window?

install the mysql client on your computer. then in the server on your host, you would have to allow outside connections for the user you are going to log in from.

look into the use of GRANT privileges if you have not done this before.

you can just upload phpmyadmin into your webspace - its not the most secure of solutions but if you have no other options - you could look into heidi sql also

Nancy, do you know if hosts that don't already provide it would allow the use of phpmyadmin or are you guessing? My host provides it. I think those that don't have it would be leery because of security issues.

Hi,

I requested permission from my ISP host, to install phpmyadmin. It took them two weeks to finally give me the OK.

Before I can install the program, I need to estimate how much server space it will require so I don't incur too much additional expense.

How can I estimate the amount of server space that a new phpmyadmin will use after setup?

Thanks,

Andy

Not very much, the English-only version is about 4MB. Obviously, this doesn't include the space taken up by any databases you might create in the future, but the app itself is pretty small.

Thank you.
