Experiences with RailoYes, "individual login" for every database was just not going to cut it for me. I finally managed to set up a MySQL account I could use through the Plesk/phpMySQLAdmin interface, and then finally I could get control over the db management through Navicat. Navicat is so much easier with the data transfer, data synchronization, etc. I had Plesk set up on the VPS since it was free, and I thought "why not?"... now I know "why not!" I may keep it around for certain features, but never for managing the server. Rick > > I'm strongly considering dumping Plesk.
