spikypunker Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Hey guys!! OK, i'm used to only working with databases from the CPANEL, accessing phpMyAdmin after setting up a mysql database in the cpanel. I've been asked to setup a website and the client has set up a database for me, but i havent got acces to cpanel, is there software i can access the database with that i can download, maybe an opensource one All i've been given is a username and password :/ Love any help!

trq Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Quote Is there software you can run off your system not just an inline server? If your doing any kind of development work you should be running a server locally anyway. Personally I just use mysql's command line client, but yeah, phpmyadmin is probably your best bet. If the db isn't mysql yes you'll need to learn a new db extension. There all very similar however.

Yes, but as I said, doing any development work you really ought to have a local server.
