- This is for access to the department's general use MySQL server, mysql.cs.jhu.edu
- NOTE: If you are a student of the CS-offered Database class, you will need to get a different MySQL account for the course database server (called dbase.cs.jhu.edu) from your TA.
- For MySQL-based access to our MySQL server, mysql.cs.jhu.edu, please fill out a MySQL Account Form which can be downloaded from the CS forms webpage
- When your MySQL account is created (which will have the same username as your CS Linux account), a default database will be created for you, and that database name will be the same as your MySQL account name.
- Later, if you need an additional database set up at some point for your MySQL account, send an email to support@cs.jhu.edu letting us know your MySQL username and the proposed name of your database.
Submitting the CS MySQL Form
- Please scan the completed form into a pdf. Then, e-mail it to support@cs.jhu.edu
- IMPORTANT! When you email the account form to us, please have the Subject Line include "CS MySQL Account Form" followed by your name
- NOTE: If you don't have a scanner, you can always use an app like camscanner on Android and iPhone or Notes app on iPhone. And if those options do not work, then, snap a clear picture of the filled-out form and email it to us.
