MySQL at OIT

Sat Mar 8 17:15:24 EST 2008

This file is more about how to access MySQL than how to set up tables
and the like.

Thanks to some advice and sample code from Dave Herrington, I now
understand better how to run MySQL using the Webscript service at OIT.
There are several components.

1. Visit this page to establish a Webscript account:

	http://mysqlserver.princeton.edu/PUMySql/

2. You can create a database and add information into it with
PhpMyAdmin:

	https://webscript.princeton.edu/PUMySql/

3. You can put PHP code to manipulate the database in your public_html
directory (~netid/public_html)

4. This code can only be executed through the webscript site, for
example, as

	http://webscript.princeton.edu/~netid/whatever.php
