A lot of MySQL developers use web-based admin tools like myphpadmin because often the server is on a hosted site. We should see what we can do to provide good support for databases available over HTTP. As a first step, we should make it easy to bring up myphpadmin for a MySQL database, and similarly for PostgreSQL web-based tools. As a second step, we should look at supporting JDBC over HTTP - we can use an existing product called VJDBC (http://vjdbc.sourceforge.net/) to do this. We could make it easy to install the VJDBC servlet on the web server, and then have the client driver registered in NetBeans. Hm, we could even make this work today with a little documentation/help.
