Can anyone recommend an app that can replicate a mySQL database running on an android tablet (slave) and on my external web server (master)
SymmetricDS is capable of synchronizing MySQL databases. It also support SQL Lite databases on Android depending on your setup.

I'm working on a Text-based RPG game using C++ in Visual Studio, where I want player account details and infomation to sit on a database, and I have previously been using Microsoft Azure to host a database. However there are a few pricing complications involved and since this is a small project and I'm learning on the way, I'm not sure about this.
I have 2 machines, my main PC and a Laptop, and I sometimes do some SQL practice on my laptop using MySQL Workbench, then I'll code on my main PC. Both of these machine use the same network, and so I want to ask:
If I set up a local database using MySQL Workbench on my laptop, will I be able to connect to it from my main PC? If so this will relieve a load of stress as I can then develop everything locally and then look to push it out to a larger scale in the future.
You should be able to connect to the MySQL instance on your laptop from your PC, but you might have to open up the port to new connections.
There are other posts on SO that might be helpful with the specific steps needed: Connect to MySQL Database on Local Network
Might be easiest to just run the same version of MySQL Workbench on both machines.
I developed a wordpress site locally using WAMP with MySQL ver. 5.6.17.
While trying to take the website live (using the Duplicator wp plugin), I am not able to as I got an error for version incompatibility.
The shared hosting that i have purchased to take the site live cant upgrade the MySql version from 5.5.36 to 5.6.n.
Is there something I can do now with the wp site locally developed to take it live? looking for any possible solutions...
Duplicator has a mode where it uses mysqldump to write out your database contents when preparing the package for duplication. That mode is enabled on Duplicator's settings page. If you write your package with that tool you may, or may not, be able to persuade your cheap and nasty hosting service to import it.
My case:
one laptop with XAMPP and I like to work outside without internet connection to not be distracted for increased productivity
one desktop with XAMPP which is always connected
htdocs folder is synchronized with Dropbox - this works great
What I want to achieve:
To have some kind of automatic synchronization/replication of mysql database across these two devices and when I work on laptop offline and I came online I want to all changes in MySQL on my laptop to be replicated to MySQL database on my desktop
Solutions which I tried:
use central MySQL server to which I could connect from both of them - this is very good and easy solution, but I couldn't work offline without internet connection on my laptop
I was using dropbox for synchronization of mysql data folder - many of users are saying that it works flawlessly, but I ended with corrupted data
Is there any other way?
SymmetricDS can synchronize MySQL databases in an environment with expected network disconnects.
A free headless version can be found at symmetricds.org.
I am connection to a LAMP Server trough PuTTY.
I have no idea if there is a GUI available so I'm doing this trough the CLI. The problem now is that I need certain fields from the database and I have no idea how the database looks since the lack of documentation.
How should I approach this. In the database there are 148 tables. Should I just go trough every table one at a time? Is there a smart way?
Thanks.
You could always install PHPMyAdmin, but if you don't have access to do so, you can try MySQL Workbench. This installs on your computer, and you just put in your server info and connect
There's plenty of GUI tools available for MySQL, some that you normally install on the server and others that you run on your desktop, here's a short list:
MySQL Workbench - Official mysql gui tool with really nice features (especially coming to db design)
PHPMyAdmin - web based interface, can be installed on the server and reached through a web interface.
HeidiSQL (free, windows) - desktop app
SQLYog (lot's of features, costs money) - desktop app
Sequel Pro (free, slim and good for macosx) - desktop app
You can also use the mysql-query browser for connect database.

I have mysql server running on amazon ec2 instance (running on ubuntu)
My support team (running on windows) needs access to this database so they can run some queries and get info straight from the database. Are there any tools in windows that offer such functionality
For querying, I personally use Toad for MySQL as it allows me to easily export to Excel. Unfortunately, it's .Net, so it has some very annoying bugs. My co-workers have spoken highly of Sql Yog and MySQL Workbench.
For data modeling, I really like MySQL Workbench. If money isn't an object, you might look at ErWin.
MySQL Workbench support remote conectivity to any MySQL Server, but you need to perform your server security with remote access in server side and DB side.
Some servers use phpMyAdmin as client (IE Windows compatible). You don't need remote access if you install it on your server but have to check security permissons to your DB side also.
I would suggest using Navicat if you are willing to pay for the licenses. It would be the most user friendly solution IMO. You can download free trials.
Take advantage of dbForge Studio for MySQL. There is free express edition.
