    You have to give yourself the access, read this documentation :

    Once access has been granted via the management interface, you may connect using the MySQL server provided to your project, using one of the database accounts provided to your project.

    For example, after authorizing yourself for access, you may connect to the database as follows (replace USERNAME and LETTER as documented):

    mysql -u USERNAME -h mysql-LETTER.sourceforge.net -P 4040 -p

    By the way reading the doc, the purpose of is not to be access consistantly by an application, indeed the provided access is temporary.

    Access to the Project database servers is typically firewalled. To provide this direct access over the Internet, we temporarily (4 hours at time) open a hole in our firewall to permit your traffic to the project database servers.
