    I've been learning how to administer MySQL databases on my PC via command line. I now have to create a database for my real web site, hosted by HostGator. The thing is, I don't know how to use PhpMyAdmin. Is there a way in which I can still somehow use command line?

    Actually, having watched some videos on PhpMyAdmin, I think it looks quite cool.

    Is PhpMyAdmin the best for administering databases? What do you guys use?

    You can run commands from PhpMyadmin too.

    Phpmyadmin makes things so easy, but if your db has loads of tables or jusl like command line you can use ssh if they allow it

    Agree, yes you can run commands from phpmyadmin too, it's pretty convenient to use phpmyadmin to manipulate your database.

    You can ask for SSH access. Contact their Live Support.

    Thanks for the help, guys. However, I realize that I was a bit too quick to ask for help. PhpMyAdmin kicks butt! It's much better than the "Screen of Death" (command line screen), which always hurts my eyes and never properly displays my tables for being too big.
