    <p>MySQL treats logins as specific to the host they originate from. You can have a different password from your home machine than the one you use on the server itself, and you can have entirely different sets of permissions granted to the same username from different origin hosts.</p> <p>On PHPMyadmin, the database is running on the same server as the web server, and therefore refers to itself as <code>localhost</code>, with IP <code>127.0.0.1</code>. Your machine on which Workbench is installed must access MySQL with different credentials than your <code>username@localhost</code>. The server requires you to grant access to your username from any host you intend to connect from.</p> <p>In PhpMyAdmin, you will need to grant access to your database from the remote host: (See also Pekka's answer for how to allow connections from <em>any</em> host)</p> <pre><code>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on dbname.* TO yourusername@your_remote_hostname IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword'; </code></pre> <p>To see all the grants you currently have on <code>localhost</code> so that you can duplicate them for the remote host:</p> <pre><code>SHOW GRANTS FOR yourusername@localhost; </code></pre> <p>Additionally, the MySQL server needs to be setup to accept remote connections in the first place. This isn't always the case, especially on web hosting platforms. In the <code>my.cnf</code> file, the <code>skip-networking</code> line has to be removed or commented out. If there is no <code>skip-networking</code> line, you must comment out the line: </p> <pre><code>bind-address = 127.0.0.1 </code></pre> <p>...then restart MySQL.</p>

    1. COVery helpful Michael -- currently, my server is not allowing me to perform the commands you gave me. I think this may be because, as you said, the MySQL server is not set up to accept remote connections. However, I've searched my server director for 'my.cnf' and I can't find it. You could my web hosting company be withholding this from me?

    2. CO@Jeff Yes I'm afraid you'll have to contact your web hosting company to find out if they allow remote mysql connections. I think, unfortunately, it's uncommon for them to permit it.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
