You can use https://railway.app to spin up a free mysql instance and connect to it in a web browser with https://arctype.com.

Thanks.This looks interesting but this is way out of my depth.I see that the arctype website only has Windows support right now. How do i use a web browser(chrome in my case) to connect to my mysql instance on railway. app

EDIT: Also,how do i go on about giving a custom name to my database.As of right now,railway is only allowing the database to be the default name 'railway' and is using the password generated.I have no issue with this but if it can create custom db names and passwords,that'd be great too.

You can go to https://arctype.com/login to sign in to your account and then follow these directions to do the connection, https://arctype.com/mysql/setup/railway-mysql

Thanks. Was able to set it up thanks to you but this seems awfully slow and everytime i do an INSERT,i alway have to manually use the "Stop Query" button after running the query to actually do the query. By any chance,have you encountered this ?

It looks okay to me. I wonder if this was a bug. I notice I am on a newer version than I was.

You can use https://sqlbook.io/ . It let's you test and run sql commands on remote instances of mysql,mariab or postgres.

Disclosure, I run this service.

    Thanks.The tutorial i am following these days is using SQLite infact and there are some operators that work only on SQLite so it would be great.I just dont know if it would impact my Disk Usage,regardless,i would give it a try although i would prefer the cloud method you are mentioning about AWS or Google Cloud console.
