Hi ******,

The MySQL server is not remotely accessible for two reasons.

Firstly for security, and secondly because the software that accesses
the database (the admin section mainly) ensures certain relationships
within the database, it would be very easy to 'corrupt' these
relationships be editing the database by hand.

Let me know what changes you wanted making and I will be able to advise
further, possibly even update the admin tool.

Regards,
