Mysql

How do I set up a MySQL/PostgreSQL account?

Email the admins with your username by clicking: http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/cgi-bin/writemail.pl?username=admins and ask them to set you up with an account for it.

Now MySQL has been set up, how do I connect?

The easiest way to do it is to type: rbmysql into the prompt and hit enter. You'll be asked for your password and then connected to the MySQL server. You can view MySQL's online docs by clicking http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/help/reference/mysql/manual.html
