[PAYH] Connect to MySQL database with MySQL Administrator

[#1]

Hi,
Is it possible to connect to my MySQL database directly with MySQL Administrator? The database is hosted on plesk-host04.plus.net, but I can't even ping this. Works OK by connecting to it from my account DB WebAdmin.

Thanks Chris,
I should have searched a bit harder!
I have an account with another webhost that seems perfectly able to manage the security issues with allowing access via ODBC. Never a problem there, so a move is tempting....

Yep, bit of a pain this isn't it?
MySQL Administrator is a good bit of kit, I used it a lot when I was on the ccgi server but now I can't
There was talk of allowing it should there be enough support for it as mentioned in the thread link provided by Chris
