The MySQL version we have installed is: 5.051a

MySQL databases are limited to 50MB in size. A size limit for mysql databases may seem unusual, given that we do not have a disk space limit. However, a database sits in the RAM of a computer, and large databases can “hog” most of the RAM. For this reason, we need to maintain database limits.

Database servers

Please note all new databases are created using MySQL 5 as the default.

MySQL 4
If you are using a MySQL4 database the host name is: localhost

MySQL 5
If you are using a MySQL5 database the host name is: mysql5

PHPMyAdmin
To access PHPMyAdmin visit your domain/phpmyadmin e.g. domain.co.nz/phpmyadmin
Make sure you select the ‘Server choice’ correctly: localhost for mysql4 databases and mysql5 for mysql5 databases.
