 * Accessing your database varies depending on the hosting provider, but it’s definitely
   not something that you get to via FTP.
 * Most hosting providers offer phpMyAdmin or MySQL command line through your hosting
   account’s control panel.
 * See [https://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup](https://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup)
   for further details.
