How to Connect to MySQL using MySQL Query Browser
Important note: MySQL support was discontinued on most new servers as of 3/20/08. Accounts established after that date may not have access to MySQL.

The MySQL Query Browser is a GUI tool provided by MySQL AB for creating, executing, and optimizing queries in a graphical environment. You can download this tool here.

Once installed on your computer, follow these steps to connect to your MySQL Database:
  1. Open MySQL Query Browser application
  2. Enter the server address in the "Server Host" text box. You can find this information in the MySQL manager in your control panel.
  3. Make sure the port is set to 3306
  4. Enter your username in the "Username" text box
  5. Enter your password in the "Password" text box
  6. Enter the database name in the "Default Schema" text box
  7. Click "OK"
