MySQL and PHPMyAdmin

[ericn]

I'm new to this...

I'm trying to administer MySQL database wich reside on a Sun at my hosting company. I'm unable to establish a JDBC connection. So I email the support and they tell me that: " you can use PHPMyAdmin to adminster the database".

The only thing that I now is that their is a database name PHPMyAdmin when I do "mysql> show databases; "

Can anyone help? Thanks!

"I'm unable to establish a JDBC connection"

JDBC means Java Database connectivity. so are u using Java classes to connect to the database MYSQL.

PhpMyAdmin is a database browser of MYSQL developed in PHP scripting language.

thus u use it to create tables and do manipulation of the database.

if u are using Java classes - Servel/JSP to connect to the database MYSQL u also need to install the MYSQL driver for Java Connectiviry

cheers

I already have SSH access to my database. I guess I don't need phpMyAdmin after all.

Question: Could phpMyAdmin help me in establishing a "LIVE" connection to my database so I don't have to upload my html/php pages on the web server? I'm thinking of using UltraDev/PHakt...

Thanks
