Me and my friend have to do a project in Mysql and i am trying to find how me and my friend can work on mysql together from our own workstations. Is there a way where we both can work on the same database together without being physically present.
I am fairly new to mysql.
Just take cheap shared hosting that has MySQL databases and preferably also PHPmyAdmin and cPanel or any other panel to easily manage your databases. In that way, you have minimum hassle to create and manage databases that you can both access.
Google "compare cheap shared hosting" and that's it. Or take this quick Google result I got: https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-cheap-web-hosting-services
If you're not happy to pay $1-$2 per month for hosting then you can install WAMPP or XAMPP on Windows machine but then you'll have to also Google how to forward ports from your router.
Edited 3aug2020: For a free MySQL hosting for up to 5MB free storage please, check https://www.freemysqlhosting.net
You can use a program like XAMPP to host mysql and port-forward phpmyadmin so your friend can visit your db
https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html
If you have MYSQL running on a server or your local computer you can both access phpmyadmin (http://server-ip/phpmyadmin) you can also use programs like Navicat (paid) or HeidiSQL (Free).
You can make the database remotely accessible, in which case your friend can connect and work on it as well.
Without knowing more about your network setup it is difficult to say how you should proceed, but generally it is enough to spin up a mysql-server instance on the host machine, then forward a WAN port to the LAN address and port of the host machine.

There are services like ServerPilot and many others that install on a vps that handle the lamp stack env. I'm wondering if there is a service that does this for databases. I install the service on a fresh vps and that the service would do all the heavy lifting like security, replication, separate read writes, back-ups and monitoring a long with easily setting up private network access for a set fee to use that service on my server.
Looking for a simple service to install on my own fresh vps, not RDS or Google Cloud.
Thank you!
What Does ServerPilot Really Do?
First, ServerPilot deploys complete LAMP stack on your server and that’s including world’s most used web server Apache, PHP5, and MYSQL. To make it even super, ServerPilot also installs and configures Nginx in front of Apache to achieve unbeatable speed and scalability.
Secondly, ServerPilot will secure your server with a firewall. To make it even secure, it will also update your server’s packages and make sure they stay updated all the time to avoid even single bug caused by outdated package.
Thirdly, ServerPilot also offers a premium feature to monitor real-time stats of your server’s performance including CPU, memory, disk space, and more.
What Does ServerPilot Not Do?
Meanwhile Serverpilot does not provide features related to installing, configuring and managing email and DNS. In this case you may need third-party DNS server to be able to point your domain to your VPS. Need recommendations? Try CloudFlare, PointHQ, NameCheap, etc.
Also, ServerPilot does not manage your server running other than Ubuntu.

I'm not sure about services, but assuming that your VPS is Ubuntu or some other Debian-based distro, you could perform sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ phpmyadmin on the command line to get your LAMP stack setup. This will setup Apache web server, PHP, and MySQL on your Linux server. Apache and PHP will come working out-of-the-box, and when you install MySQL, by default it asks for a root password to manage the database.
phpMyAdmin would be the key here because instead of doing all your database tasks via the command line, it provides a GUI interface in your web browser to manage databases and tables. To backup your database with phpMyAdmin, see this article.
With regards to customizations, for the firewall you can simply write a few iptables rules and for the database, you can run scheduled backups of a MySQL database by creating a cron job that runs the following command:/usr/bin/mysqldump -u dbusername -p'dbpassword' dbname > /path/backup.sql
Again, this isn't a service, but at least you wouldn't have to pay for any of the tools.
Unfortunately, there is no ultimate service than can perform all this stuff. However, you can set up this manually:

I am about to install WordPress on a Windows 2008 server - two load balanced servers with a UNC share. Web browsing using the server is out of the question (IT security policy) so using the Microsoft Web Platform Installer is also a non starter. I will therefore have to install it manually.
So far I have installed PHP (routine), but I now need to install MySQL and create a database. However, with these being two separate servers, what effect is this going to have on the database - will this require a database on each server? Will they remain in sync? Can the database itself be put in the UNC share?
In short, can anyone advise me whether this is possible and how to go about it?
Thanks
Install MySQL and create the database on the server which is supposed to have it - preferably a 3rd one or on the UNC. In the MySQL config, enable network connections via my.cnf, specifically the bind-address.
Both the PHP boxes should connect to that one MySQL db (using it's LAN ip address). (And yes, they would remain in sync since they connect to the same db.)
I need to review the mysql 5.5 server logs but I cannot find a way to get access them via ssh, sftp or mysqlworkbench. The mysql cartridge is in a scaled application. A solution?
There are a couple things here I'd like to point out that should provide some more information on how things work and how to get to the information you're looking for.
Scalable applications with DB's actually have the DB running in a separate gear than the application framework (for scaling purposes). For instance, if you ran rhc app show <appname> --gears for one of your scalable applications you would see that there are 2 gears being used and that the ssh information for each of them is different. So if you're just looking to take a quick look at your logs via ssh, you'll need to ssh into the appropriate gear to get to them.
You will need to use the rhc port-forward command to forward the right local ports to your database gear and then be able to connect mysqlworkbench from there.
I'm a tyro, want to use database (MySQL) installed in hosting account, to change things in the database from desktop. What are the softwares that I can use for this?
PS: Most likely I'd be using this database with PHP.

Top 15+ MySQL Managers and Tools
How ever, most web hosting don't allowing remote access to their database servers, but they do offer access a tool to access to database, generally via a browser(in most cases phpMyAdmin).
If you really want to learn SQL with MySQL, why just not to install it in your desktop and avoid future problems(disconnecting, slow connection, etc ...).
Depends on your hosting provider. Most likely it won't allow you to connect from external host (that is, your desktop). Reason? Security.
Your best bet would be to install a copy of phpMyAdmin on the server and manage your DB from the browser.
I have developed several websites on my local host for school. I can program database driven aspects of a webisite such as a blog on my own no problem. At school I used a MySQL DB which was hosted on a dedicated server, so when the server went down I could not have access to my data. I also have a mysql DB on my localhost but...my question is this: If i use the MySQL DB on my localhost, won't I only have access to the data when my computer is running so that my site can make server requests?
How can I set up any kind of DB for my site that is reliable and doesn't depend on my localhost to act as a DB Server?
I am now developing in .NET
Thanks. PS I don't have access to schools' server any more.
PPS I still don't have a site set up through a hosting provider...probalby going to go with godaddy
You'll need a server for that. A server will cost you on a monthly basis, I haven't heard of any free mysql servers, someone else may be able to help you with that.
Regular hosting providers supply PHP and MySQL server. I run my sites on Dreamhost (www.dreamhost.com)
It might also be worthwhile to look into Amazon EC2 : http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/
Also Amazon RDS for pure database only usage : http://aws.amazon.com/rds/
They provide a pay as you use service and the tier 1 service is free for the first year as I understand
There's no magic, you have to host your DB on a server that will run 24/7. Could be on the internet, it depends on the firewalls surrounding you.
The website will always depend on some sort of database server, why so worried that your database will be unreachable? Your webserver can go down also and will have the same consequences as the db.
Why don't you get some paid hosting? It is fairly cheap these days, for around 30dollar/year you will have some reliable hosting. When the DB will break down, it is not your responsibility.
If you don't want te be dependent of MySQL, you will need to use plain-text database that will be maintained by PHP or something.
You might consider running the MYSQL in i.e. a cloud provider, like Amazon EC2. It will certainly cost some money.
