Yes, we do offer phpMyAdmin. You will need both your MySQL username and password to login at:
https://my.rhombic.net/phpmyadmin
Please use our copy of phpMyAdmin rather than installing your own. Our copy of phpMyAdmin is maintained for security, and optimized for speed, with many of phpMyAdmin’s more complicated features enabled (e.g. linked tables, which allow PDF generation).
No, we do not impose any limitation on MySQL database size.
However, we do request that you do not store binary data, such as pictures and images, in your MySQL databases. Databases are meant to kept textual, relational data. High-performance databases like MySQL begin to lose their performance quickly with huge records, such as the ones containing binary data.
If you are storing a large amount of binary data in a database, Rhombic Networks’ reserves the right to call into effect our clause of excessive usage in our terms of service.
If you would like more information about why binary data in relational databases is bad, a good article to read is: Serving Images From A Database.
To connect to a MySQL database, rather than connecting to localhost, please connect to:
mysql.internal.rhombic.netWe ask that you do this as we may host your database on a separate machine.
To access your database on the command line, via the mysql program, you need to use the -h option:
mysql -h mysql.internal.rhombic.net -u username -p databasenameWhen developing your script or configuring your application, we ask that you NOT use persistent MySQL connections.
