MySQL GUI interface

[Anonymous]

Am I able to use any products such as "MySQL Control Center" to access my MySQL database? I'd rather try and use a GUI environment like Access that I'm familiar with to manipulate the data in my tables. I'm not too proficient with SQL so it hasn't been easy loading some of my tables in PHPMyAdmin.

mysql.org has all sorts of desktop GUI's for MySQL, but, I am not sure about this, but I think HostPC's MySQL databases only accept connections from the localhost.

But I might be wrong there...

Is this true...I can only accept connections using localhost? I have tried a few of these mysql.org products and have not been able to make a connection.

Thanks!

Yes, this is correct - there is no GUI interface to MySQL - Access only works on ODBC servers, such as a windows based server - we're Linux based, so localhost is the only option.
