Shawn,
Many thanks for your very informative reply. It seems my server host will
not allow remote direct access to the databases; access is only by using
the cPanel software, which also gives access to a web interface of
something called phpMyAdmin which works just about ok for very basic
Hi,
I'm setting up MySQL databases on 'shared server' space I've rented using
cPanel's 'MySQL Database' interface. I can add 'access hosts' (it's not
limited to localhost) and it says the % wildcard is allowed. Forgive me if
this is a trivial or annoying question (I can't find the answer

Hi,
I've used both PostgreSQL and MySQL on a Linux server and found both

easier to set up but I set it up after I was already proficient on
PostgreSQL, so perhaps comparing the ease of setup is unfair). Both are

Is there a simple way of copying a postgres database to MySQL? I was
hoping that postgres's backup 'pg_dump' utility (which dumps a
