So I have been given the host, username, and login information for a MySQL Database. I need a client that I can use to log in to the Database remotely and create/update tables and edit all the data.
I found the MySQL Administrator client provided by them, but it seems you can do everything BUT edit the actual data with it.
Is there anything like this?
Would I be able to use SQL Server Express (or something similar), to connect to a remote server online and do all of this?
with the mysql administrator, you normally get the mysql query browser, which sounds like what you want :)
If you're using OS X or Linux, you can install the mysql client and connect via the console. There are plenty of GUI clients for OS X and Windows (SqlYOG is a good, free one that I've used), just search Google for "mysql client ".
MySQL Workbench works great for me. It allows me to connect to some remotely hosted databases that I have via ssh.
I highly recommend SqlYog Community Edition which inkedmn also mentioned. It handles database administration and query building, and similar enough to SQL Server Management Studio that you won't feel completely lost.

I'm trying to learn PL/SQL language. On my mac laptop (macOS Monterey, M1) I have the following set up:
MySQL Workbench running a test database
and SQL*Plus installed in the terminal
My question: How do I connect to my local MySQL Workbench database via sqlplus?
I imagine I need a user/pass and to specify localhost 3306 as the connection endpoint... but where do I find these things, how do I set them up? I've looked at Oracle documentation but haven't found the answer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is study for a SQL interview. Thanks in advance.

Either you need to use MySQL Workbench as a client for MySQL Server, or else you need to use SQL*Plus as a client for Oracle Server. These are two different brands of database (although they are both owned by Oracle Corporation) and the clients cannot connect to each other's database.
Your statement of connecting to MySQL Workbench using SQL*Plus makes no sense anyway, since both of these are clients.
I'm a beginner in SQL so i'm sorry if the question is too basic.
I just created a database in MySQL Workbench in my computer and i would like to be able to access and modify the database from another computer within my house. I read some solutions but they all require using some external product, is there a way and how can i do this by the MySQL Workbench GUI, or maybe other functionalities from MySQL?
I also installed MySQL community server on the other computer that i would like to connect my database to.
Thanks!
If it's a home network, and both of you are connected via same router, then you can connect to mysql server on the other device using http://ip_of_machine_running_mysql:3306.
ip_of_machine_running_mysql should be the ip of the machine running mysql server.
Worth to note that you need to allow remote connection to mysql if you haven't already done so when you were doing mysql installation.
The steps for enabling remote access differs for your os(windows, ubuntu, mac), but you can easily find tutorials and how to's for changing such configuration.

So I am developing an app that I want to let include server interaction. I have installed MySQL server and MySQL Workbench. I am able to query my data base locally from Java. such as local host. but when I change the query correctly, to reference the IP of my server and not "localhost", I am unsuccessful both on my server and separate machine. I have pinged my server from my another machine successfully. I have configured user accounts on MySQL workbench in almost every way possible. I have done a lot of googling with little success.
I am 19 and just starting to learn SQl now. It'sn ot a big part of my project. I am sorry if this sounds like a basic question, but google has gotten me no where and I am really eager to publish my app xP . So I would really appreciate the help or even a basic guide as to what I may be doing wrong.
Most likely, this is because you did not yet assign user permissions for remote computers. You'd have to use something like tyhe following:
GRANT SELECT ON myDatabase.*
TO myUser#’mycomputers.ip.address’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘my_password’;

I know the question I am about to ask is a very stupid once but I am new to MYSQL so please bear with me. Want I want to do is create a database on my local machine and also access/manipulate it from their. I thought MYSQL WB was the all in one tool to do this i.e it will also allow me to create a database and also make a MYSQL server from which to access it. But I came to know the Workbench is just a front end and you need to have a some kind of a seperate MYSQL server module for it to access.
The problem is I can't seem to find any link for a simple a server module on the MYSQL download site.
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ .
It has one Cluster Server but I don't think this is what I am looking for. If anyone could provide a link to the MYSQL server module using which I could connect MYSQL Workbench on my local host, and the steps to connect them that would be great.
The one your looking for is named MySQL Community Edition. The current version is 5.6.14. Just select your platform (mac, linux or windows) and follow the installation guide.
If you wish to have php/mysql then you can download xampp. It includes all the necessary tools. Or if you wish to install it separately then follow this for Windows,

I have 2 computers. Both with w7 as os. I have installed wampserver on one of them.
I have mysql database on wampserver.
Then I have made a vb.net program to connect to mysql database. I have put the program on both computers.
What I want to do is for those two programs to see the same database that is on one computer. For them to be able to add, delete, update that 1 database.
How do I do that? How do I network the mysql database? Do I also have to install wampserver on the other computer?
What do I do? Please enlighten me.
MySQL is a database management system which will respond to ODBC (and equivalent) connections. Get the name of your computer that is running the MySQL database, and go to http://www.connectionstrings.com/mysql to find an appropriate connection string to use in the System.Data.OleDBConnection connection string.
