MySql and WebHost
Posted: Tue Feb 11, 2003 9:26 pm
Hi,
I have been trying to get some things set up on a Virtual server with a local hosting company for a client and ran into a slight hitch. After a week of trying to get the complete connection info so that I can use my Mascon MySql client software to create and administer the tables, I was told that they did not allow web-based database administration....I was totally amazed and enraged......!
How common a practice is this? I have never run into this situation before. They even sent a representative to meet with the client to discuss them going with a dedicated server because I was asking for "root access" which I really was not - just access to a particular database that I would design and nothing else. Site is on a Win2000 server running IIS and ASP/PHP/MySql.
Am I way off base, or are these folks overly restrictive? Any comments
welcome, any thoughts welcomed. They did say that I could send them the DDL to create/alter the tables, but I was wishing to avoid any 3rd party hangups with the actual development.....
Thanks,
Phil J.
