Accessing database

I have a database on a live server (Forge) and I cannot get MySQLWorkbench to connect to it. How else can I access it to see the tables etc.?

On forge go to Server Details / Network Add new firewall rule

You should also provide your IP address so only you can connect to your database. But it is up to you to do this.

Hope it helps!

Thanks, I was able to access it via SSH, I didn't realise it was so simple!
