The server should have the standard cmdline MYSQL admin installed on it (one imagines).

Try opening a command prompt and running:

  mysqladmin
[obviously with username and password] If it is there us should let you run the SQL commands you want. (ref: http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/mysqladmin/)

If you want an SQL prompt then mysql on the commandline (will 100% be there) will work

  mysql -u <user> -p <password>

doesn't appear to have mysqladmin on it.

i've downloaded some mysql guis and am e-mailing them to myself so I can get them onto the server. I found a few portable ones so I don't have to install anything and tick them off.

it should have mysql - that is part of the standard install package (I think it's auto installed too).

but eyh - your way sounds like a good methid, esp if your happier with a GUI
