Hi, where can I find a MySQL client? I new to the database. I installed a version of MySQL on my computer, and use it for testing my website (localhost), but now I need to access a MySQL database installed on a remote host.

Thanks for the help,
Nathan

In the directory where you have the mysql server installed, there should be a "bin" subdirectory.
And in that subdirectory, a program named "mysql".
It's the official command line client.

Yes, command line, like ms-dos.
There are a lot of others client, beginning with the "query browser" that you can find on http://www.mysql.com/products/tools/
Try google to find a handful hundreds of clients, open-source or not, running on almost anything.

When I run "mysql.exe" I get a beeping noise from my computer and the command window immediately closes.

Because it must be run from a terminal, and having options passed to it.
It's displaying the options, but as windows see the program as stopped, it closes the windows right after that.

I believe that you can say windows to keep the windows open after the end of the program if you right click and ask for the file properties.

Last time I used a windows station (it was windows 98), I had to open a shell (I believe it's start button -> run -> cmd.exe on windows 2000, 2003 and xp) and then either have put the mysql bin directory in your path, or navigate to your mysql bin directory through a series of "cd ..", "cd {directory name}" to access it and launch mysql.exe
I'm running linux, so I cannot say much more, sorry.

On my linux box, I connect to my local mysql with this command line:

mysql -u webdev -h 127.0.0.1 -p sandbox

Meaning that I connect on my local computer (-h 127.0.0.1), with the user webdev (-u webdev), that the front-end must ask me for a password to authenticate (-p) and to the database named "sandbox"

IMO just about the best MySQL GUI there is
