(Answer) (Category) polarhome.com FAQ : (Category) database problems :
do I have a database by default
no, database accounts have nothing to do with ftp or shell accounts, however if you created your ftp account after 2002.05.14 MySQL accounts can be generated by the system (if requested) and account details will be posted to your polarhome e-mail address.
On request you will get the same username for easier administration.

ask MySQL account at mysql@polarhome.com and PostgreSQL accounts at postgres@polarhome.com

please include your username and hostname.

(Answer) (Category) polarhome.com FAQ : (Category) database problems :
what is it mean "account created, details sent to:"
it means that you used some other e-mail for request than the user finger information. Because the reply on such request contains password etc it will be sent out just to relevant e-mail address.

(Answer) (Category) polarhome.com FAQ : (Category) database problems :
is there a web interface for database management
Sure...
use http://www.polarhome.com/service/admin/ page to access phpMyAdmin for MySQL administartion on each host that has MySQL server.

(Answer) (Category) polarhome.com FAQ : (Category) database problems :
is there any database on OpenVMS box
Unfortunately not, but you can use RMS files so far
faq
(Answer) (Category) polarhome.com FAQ : (Category) database problems :
may I have more than one database account
Unfortunately not... it would make system administartion more complicate, but you may create as many tables you want in one database.
faq
(Answer) (Category) polarhome.com FAQ : (Category) database problems :
may I have higher quota for my database
Unfortunately not... because it would make exceptions among users and this is against polarhome policy.
faq
(Answer) (Category) polarhome.com FAQ : (Category) database problems :
may I buy higher quota
no... polarhome does not sell services, space etc at all.

(Answer) (Category) polarhome.com FAQ : (Category) database problems :
what is my hostname
by default your MySQL host is localhost.
polarhome on servers that support MySQL create MySQL accounts, but for security reason just hostname=localhost can connect to that account. You can manage your database account with web interface ( http://www.polarhome.com/service/database/ ) or request from mysql@polarhome.com to enable your host or every host to connect to MySQL server.
Please note: - always quote your username and hostname in any correspondence with support - if you want to have same password for localhost access and for world access, please provide your MySQL account password as well with the request.

(Answer) (Category) polarhome.com FAQ : (Category) database problems :
are databases reachable from every host?
polarhome MySQL databases are created with default values: username: users username database: users username hosts: localhost password : randomly created password that is not equal with user chosen ftp/shell password.
It means that user can access its database just from the localhost - running on that particular box.
Therefore mysql TCP port is not defined on most boxes and MySQL uses just socket communictaion - that implies that these databases are not reachable from any other machine.

(Answer) (Category) polarhome.com FAQ : (Category) database problems :
how can I access my database outside from polarhome realm
Unfortunately it is not possible, because mysql port is not portforwarded. Read more about at http://www.polarhome.com/service/ports.html
Also on some hosts tcp listener is off - just the socket works.
And also the accounts are created just for host: localhost
