How can I manipulate MySQL database using the Aplus.Net Control Panel?

Answer by: Stuart Pierce, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

The MySQL Database Manager icon in the Control Panel connects you to the phpMyAdmin tool. PhpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Web. It can create and drop databases, create / drop / edit tables, delete / edit / add fields, execute any SQL statement, manage keys on fields, manage privileges, and export data into various formats.

You can access the phpMyAdmin tool through the MySQL database manager icon in the Control Panel. Here’s how:

Start by logging into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Customer Password.
Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
Next, select Hosted Domains and click on Manage Hosted Domains.
Now, select the hosted domain that you’d like to manage.
Click the MySQL Database Manager icon.
Click the manage database link associated with the exact MySQL Database you’d like to manipulate.

You will be redirected to the administering interface of the “phpmyadmin” database manager. On the left-hand side you will see the name of the database, and the tables you currently have.
