I have run out of databases on my server and need somewhere to test them
Is there a way i can do this locally or anyone know of some free webspace where i can run this for free preferable without having to register a domian name if possable.
Do about adds and things just need it for testing.

Get the latest ODBC drivers installed too.

I installed it at home but connected to the server at uni.

like the others said mate, get MySQL installed on your pc 
Although, i dont see how you have used all of your databases with your host??? considering you have unlimited tables etc - time to start compressing some of the dbs into a single db

you what???
i run it with IIS on my desktop, so you dont need any server what so every. Plus the installation never connected to anything what so ever.
The only connecting thing i do with MySQL is through server side scripts and MySQL-front (basically access type program for SQL dbs)

That's a nasty way of doing it. He should stop being a tight git and just create another mySQL db. My host has unlimited installations.

Once you've installed mySQL, you'll have a couple of processes running - this is the mySQL server, normally running on port 3306.

how is that nasty??? ok its easier to find the right db for things etc, but if you label your tables correctly there wont be any problems what so ever Plus its easier to backup and if you have MyAdmin installed then its even easier to use sql db's 
And yes i know theres a sql db server that runs on your system, but i dont understand why pug nut connected to his uni server??
