Ever tried phpMyAdmin?
Check it out at:
http://www.phpwizard.com/projects/phpMyAdmin/
You'll be able to remotly administer your mySQL database while using your favourite programming language. :o)
phpMyAdmin is intended to handle the adminstration of MySQL over the web. Currently it can:
create and drop databases
create, copy, drop and alter tables
delete, edit and add fields
execute any SQL-statement, even batch-queries
manage keys on fields
load text files into tables
create and read dumps of tables
export data to CSV values
administer multiple servers and single databases
But make sure to secure the directory, because you don't want any unauthorised access to you DB!
Have fun!
