Something along the lines of "ssh -L 3307:database.example.net:3306 database.example.net" This will tell your system to tunnel the local port 3307 through the database box, TO the database box on port 3306. From this point, after you connect via ssh with the above command, you can simply point your database software to the local 3307 port in plain text, and it'll travel over ssh to the remote box.
