The server should have the standard cmdline MYSQL admin installed on it (one imagines). Try opening a command prompt and running: mysqladmin [obviously with username and password] If it is there us should let you run the SQL commands you want. (ref: http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/mysqladmin/ ) If you want an SQL prompt then mysql on the commandline (will 100% be there) will work mysql -u -p http://www.manpagez.com/man…

doesn't appear to have mysqladmin on it. i've downloaded some mysql guis and am e-mailing them to myself so I can get them onto the server. I found a few portable ones so I don't have to install anything and tick them off.

it should have mysql - that is part of the standard install package (I think it's auto installed too).

but eyh - your way sounds like a good methid, esp if your happier with a GUI

How quick this was answered/people helped is remarkable. Kudos to the HN community! Maybe there's a startup idea here - or maybe it already exists. Typically I spend hours searching for answers online to programming/tech questions or I end up chatting to a guru friend of mine - for the answers.
