MYSQL数据库的管理: 首先下载PhpMyAdmin软件，将此文件包解压，找到其中的一个文件: config.inc.php(或者如config.*等, 该文件名会因phpmyadmin版本不同, 而有所差别) 修改以下配置:
$cfgServers[1]['host'] = 'localhost'; // MySQL hostname
$cfgServers[1]['port'] = ''; // MySQL port - leave blank for default port
$cfgServers[1]['socket'] = ''; // Path to the socket - leave blank for default socket
$cfgServers[1]['connect_type'] = 'tcp'; // How to connect to MySQL server ('tcp' or 'socket')
$cfgServers[1]['stduser'] = ''; // MySQL standard user settings (this user must have read-only
$cfgServers[1]['stdpass'] = ''; // access to the "mysql/user" and "mysql/db" tables)
$cfgServers[1]['adv_auth'] = FALSE; // Use advanced authentication?
$cfgServers[1]['user'] = 'FTP帐号'; // MySQL user
$cfgServers[1]['password'] = 'FTP密码'; // MySQL password (only needed with basic auth)
$cfgServers[1]['only_db'] = ''FTP帐号'; // If set to a db-name, only this db is displayed at left frame

然后您ftp到您的网站, 在wwwroot下建立一个目录phpmyadmin, 把phpmyadmin所有文件上传到该目录下访问http://'yourdomain.com/phpmyadmin, 即可管理您的数据库了. 在您建好您的数据库后, 记得把这些phpadmin的文件移走, 否则便让任何人都可以管理您的数据库了.
如果用perl编程, 可以用如下代码连接数据库:
#!/usr/bin/perl use DBI; $database = "'FTP帐号"; $user = "'FTP帐号"; $password = "'FTP密码"; $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$database", $user, $password); .......... $rc = $dbh->disconnect
