Overview

Instructions for requesting a MySQL account. 

Instructions

Go to https://www.purdue.edu/apps/ics/a/MySQLAccount. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Your MySQL account will be created on mydb.ics.purdue.edu.

You can log into this account using any of several mysql clients including:

• The mysql command from a Unix shell (eg. guru.itap.purdue.edu, or a Mac OSX terminal window).
• Any of several programs for use under Windows or Mac OSX (eg. MySQL Query Browser, MySQL Workbench) available from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/.
• MS Access via the MySQL ODBC.
• On the web, by pointing your browser to http://web.ics.purdue.edu/software/phpMyAdmin/.

Your username will be the same as your Purdue Career Account login, although you password must be different for security reasons.
