 * I have uploaded the standard default wordpress to a new hosted website. I want
   to upload my existing database file that I have loaded on my computer along with
   the files. I know how to upload the files via ftp. How can I upload my database
   through the admin panel? My hosted site does not give me access to phpMyAdmin.

 * My basic question is what is the best method of uploading my database file to
   the host if I do not have phpMyAdmin available on the host?

 * how DO they give you access to MySQL?
 * Thats what you need to answer.
 * Theres only so many ways, via a web app like phpmyadmin (some host administration
   panels have access methods), via the command line during a ssh or telnet session,
   or remotely.
 * Once you know that, you have your answer.
 * And if they dont offer you any access – change hosts. They suck.

 * I contacted my host (who I will not mention) and upgraded my account to a linux
   with access to phpMyAdmin. I thought that a wordpress account included access,
   but it didn’t. Evidently I did not read the fineeeeeeeeeeee print.
