Is there a simple way to test a hosting account to see if MySQL is available
on it?

SSH or telnet in and type mysql at the command prompt.

Or try the mysql_connect() function; see example 1 at:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php

Or call the hosting company and ask? You may have to do that anyway in
order to get the mysql username and password, or even the mysql host
servername, if it's on a separate box.

Read their web site? :)
Check the control panel if you already have the account?

In this case it's a CP that is being balky - it says MySQL is enabled but I
disbelieve it. 8)

I'll try Joe's suggestions....
