[quote="bluephoenix"]Besides odbc - I want to connect to my online database while I am on desktop.  Besides via odbc - can anyone tell me how to connect - especially for virtual hosted accounts that do not allow access to mysql and flushing of database[/quote]

For virtual hosted accounts I would say this is not possible unless you could convince the hosting provider to allow access to mysql from something other than localhost.

If you have full control over mysql and were using v4 you could use replication. Other than that I am stumped :D
