Accessing your MySQL database

You can access your database using Perl DBI (with DBD::mysql) or Mysql.pm module. You can also access your database via SSH. To access you database via SSH, you must first connect to your Web server using your Master User account and then connect to your database from that command prompt (as the MySQL servers will not accept external connections).

The shell command to connect is:

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -h mysql[n].[domainname.com] -u [username] -p [databasename]
