First, you’ll need some software. In this example, we’ll use Navicat or HeidiSQL. Once you’ve downloaded the file, run it and complete the installation. After that, you can launch the program and configure the database connection.
To connect with HeidiSQL, create a new connection by clicking “New”.
Enter your database name under Hostname / IP. In our example, this is “mysql-mariadb-5-101.zap-hosting.com”. You’ll also find the username and password in your credentials. Leave the port set to 3306.
Then simply click “Open”.
To connect with Navicat, create a new connection. Under Connection, select MySQL. Another window will open where you can enter your database information.
The Connection Name is only used to help you identify your databases, so you can choose any name you like. Enter all the other details from the management panel, as described above. Then click OK to complete the setup. You can then connect to the database from the list on the left. Double-click your database or right-click it and select “Open Connection”:
The database will open with all its existing tables. You can now edit and manage it just as you would in phpMyAdmin, either by clicking or using SQL commands.
You’ve successfully connected to your database and can now manage it. If you have any other questions or need help, our support team is here for you every day! 🙂
