How do I access MySQL database server service from a different machine ?

[kitson]

I have an online shopping website which runs MySQL database server in the back-end in a Linux/Unix server.How do I access/monitor this MySQL service from my home Windows XP PC ? I am not very expert in these things as I have to think about other businesses. Please help.

Your web host should provide database management software (phpMyAdmin is very common), which can be accessed from your account control panel in most cases.
