You can create and administrate MySQL databases from our self service itu.dk/sysadm/db/. Use your ITU username and password for login. Please notice access to your database outside of itu.dk domain cannot be obtained.

MySQL

The MySQL student-databases are hosted on mysql.itu.dk. You can access them via the tool phpMyAdmin from itu.dk/mysql. You will be prompted for your MySQL username and password. Please note, that it may be different from your normal username and password. After successful login you have full access to whatever databases your MySQL user can access.

 

Troubleshooting
If you have difficulty connecting to MySQL, it might be because of network issues or because of MySQL (i.e. permissions, passwords, typos). To test that the network is working (i.e. that you can reach the MySQL-server) try connecting to it using telnet on port 3306 (MySQL standard-port):

telnet mysql.itu.dk 3306

If you get a response like:

Escape character is ‘^]’. 5 5.0.51a? HeDcEo!P,P!QV>o7cm{Bw

you can reach the MySQL-server, so your problem is not with the network.

If there is a network/firewall-issue your telnet command will just hang at:

Trying ......

Should you have network-connection issues, you can work around them using an ssh-tunnel, see mysql_ssh_tunnel
