To manage a MySQL database, you typically login to the cPanel interface and use phpMyAdmin.

However, if you are connecting to a MySQL database from a custom application, you may wish to refer to the documentation for the language/API you are using to connect to the database.

Don't forget to add your IP address to the permitted IP addresses allowed to access your database. You can do this by clicking on the "Remote MySQL" icon in the cPanel interface.

Hi,

I would follow David's advice here. If you're coding in PHP, you need to follow the PHP MySQL object specifications. Usually you do not connect via a URL, you connet to an IP address or FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) on port 3306 (standard MySQL port), using the username and password you assigned to the database.

In PHP, for example:

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php

I'm a PHP developer, so, y'know... I'm biased!

Let me know if you need anything else.

Regards,
