DowntownHost delivers their mySQL solutions through a very popular web interface tool called cPanel. cPanel in turn comes equipped with a MySQL management tool called phpMyAdmin. This allows you to manage your database needs quickly and efficiently, without getting too bogged down in the setup process.
For those who are not familiar, SQL is actually a popular standard utilized for moving data to and from a variety of databases.

You just have to login into cPanel, navigate to the mySQL area and click on the appropriate icon.
