Accessing a MySQL Database via SSH

For Managed Servers

This article explains how you can connect to a MySQL database running on your server.

• Establish an SSH connection to your server.
  
  You can find the access data in your IONOS under the item MySQL.

• The following command line provides an example of how to connect to the MySQL database running on your server:

mysql --host=localhost --user=dbo123456789 --password=******** -S /tmp/mysql5.sock db123456789

mysql --host=localhost --user=dbo123456789 --password=******** db123456789

Replace the user, password and database name (dbxxxxxx) with the access data of your database.
