mysty Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I just found out my new hosting company does not allow a direct connection to the databases for my site. This means I cannot access it using MySQL monitor (command prompt). I also sometimes use SQLyog which is similar to PHPmyAdmin both of which need a direct connection to work. Is this really an issue and what are others using?BTW - the hosting company is 1 and 1 and they have their own phpmyadmin, albeit a stripped down version. I guess the reason this may be a problem is that I cannot create more user/privileges and it makes me a bit nervous to set everything up giving website/database users potential access to full privileges. Isn't it common practice to set up two user/privileges, one with full privs for admin purposes and one with limited privs for general website access? Again, is this really an issue?

fenway Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 It's nice to be able to have a direct connection, though I understand why shared hosts don't provided this type of access -- it's just asking for trouble. On the other hand, you definitely need a few non-privileged accounts.
