Unable to make a connection to hosting provider database for MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server
Many hosting providers provider users access to databases such as MySQL,
PostgreSQL, or Microsoft SQL Server, but do not allow remote connections
to those databases. They force users to use web-based tools to connect
to the databases.
Also, in the case of SQL Server, some ISPs block the common port for
SQL Server, port 1433, because of a virus that used port 1433 in an
exploit.
In these cases, connecting to the databases using traditional means
is not possible. RazorSQL provides PHP bridges for MySQL, PostgreSQL,
and SQL Server, and an ASP bridge for SQL Server. So, if your web
host provides you with either a PHP or ASP web server, you can then
use the bridges to connect to the database.
