Noob mySQL question

[Bigdogbmx]

Hi, im new to mySQL and i am a bit confused about how u run commmands on it remotely. I have it installed on my comp and after {PMS} Fishy helped my i understand how to run it from command line. The thing i dont get is if u buy server space as i will be doing soon to host a commerce site how can i run commands on it remotely? My ISP space has phpmyadmin which is easy enough but i dont think i will have that on the paid space ill be getting. So if anyone knows please enlighten me as im 'teh stuck',

You''ll probably need to telnet or ssh into your webhosting account and then run mysql commands from there. That's what I have to do on my school account.

Is that like real VNC but over the internet? I know that SSH is a secure version of telnet but i dont know what telnet is lol.

Telnet (http://www.msc.edu.ph/wired/telnet.html) is like RealVNC in the sense that it's used to remotely connect to a computer. Telnet is command-line though. There's a telnet client built-in to Windows. To access it just type 'telnet' (without the single quotes) in the run box.
