What is a MySQL database?
Most of the web applications require a database where they store various settings and data. MySQL is a relational database management system, which means it stores data in separate tables rather than putting all the data in one big area. This adds flexibility, as well as speed. The SQL part of MySQL stands for "Structured Query Language," which is the most common language used to access databases. The MySQL database server is the most popular open source database in the world. It is extremely fast and easy to customize, due to its architecture.
Is MySQL compatible with FrontPage?
No, FrontPage do not support MySQL databases.
Do you support Microsoft SQL or Microsoft Access databases?
No, unfortunately we do not support Microsoft SQL or Microsoft Access at this time. Our servers run Linux, which means we're unable to install Microsoft SQL server on them.
Where can I learn more about MySQL and databases?
There is a tutorial located at their own site explaining all the features of MySQL. The tutorial is located here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/index.html
There is also plenty of good tutorials available on the Internet for free.
Do you offer a tool to manage my databases online?
Yes! Go the the MySQL Databases section of the Control Panel. Then click on the name of the database you would like to edit using the phpMyAdmin tool.
Type in the following:
Username: the database name
Password: the database password you have assigned
How to connect to my database?
In order to connect to your database through e.g. a PHP script, use the following settings:
Database server: the hostname of the server your account is hosted on (supremecenterXX.com where XX is your server number)
Username: the database name
Password: the database password you have assigned
Port: 3306 (default)
How to create a new database?
To create a new database, go to the MySQL Databases section of the Control Panel. Then fill in the following information:
Database name: Choose a name for your database. Note that the name should not exceed 16 characters including "username_".
Password: Fill in the desired password in both fields.
Once you click on the Add SQL Account button, the database will be created and is ready to use.
