text: where is my mysql database? a programmer prepared me an application with mysql and set it up on my host account. now i cannot find the database. how can i find it? what i mean is, the program runs quite good from the web but there must be a database with tables and data. how can i find it? do you have cpanel? if so threre should be a program call phpmyadmin installed on your account, you can access your database from there.
