Is there a way to use the Server Explorer in VS to connect to a MySQL database that is located on our offsite-hosted website? I just want to do admin stuff, build some queries using the GUI query designer, etc. I don't need to write any code in VS because the actual website the db is needed on is PHP.

It sure would be nice to be able to do all the GUI admin stuff in VS instead of having to add another 3rd party app to my machine just for this one small project.
 
FYI, this entire site will eventually be hosted onsite and converted from Unix/PHP/MySQL to Windows/ASP.NET/MSSQL, but thats a ways out and the boss wants this one small project done ASAP.
