 * Hi,
    My host does not supply any db tools (like phpmyadmin), but suggests I install
   same myself on their server to admin my db. Seems like a security issue. Is there
   a way to admin a remote db from a copy of phpmyadmin running on my local computer?
   Is it as simple as installing a new copy of it and moding config.inc.php?

 * It would be much less secure if you could access the database remotely no matter
   what tool was used. What they said is correct, install your own phpmyadmin or
   other web tool on your account. But….. secure it. Password protect the URL it
   sits under and use login control at the interface itself.
