How can I signup my group/locker for the MySQL service?
If your group does not already have a locker, start by mailing accounts@mit.edu to get one.
Groups that have lockers can easily register for a MySQL account at an Athena prompt:
athena$ add scripts
athena$ signup-sql
and selecting option #2 at the first prompt.
You can then read your password from /mit/locker/.sql/my.cnf. You can use this to log in to sql.mit.edu under the “SQL Password” option. You will need to create and drop databases from sql.mit.edu, but you can do all other operations from any MySQL client. We recommend using phpMyAdmin.
Only signups for individual users are available using the MySQL service web interface. However, group locker users must use the MySQL service web interface to create and drop databases after completing Athena command-line signup.
