What sort of database access do you offer?
LittleBizzy does not install phpMyAdmin or any other database management software on our servers in order to maintain our speed and security standards. (phpMyAdmin is one of the most commonly hacked items on web servers around the world.) As our policy is to only install/allow a single domain and database per VPS server, there should never be any reason for your developers to require database access as no additional databases will be able to be installed on our servers. However, there are certain times when a developer may require access to your WordPress database in order to clean up some old tables, check for bugs, or otherwise perform some basic research. In such cases we highly recommend the free script Adminer.
This script should be downloaded and installed to your server public root, such as:
example.com/adminer-4.7.0-en.php
Then you can use it with the database login/password that exists in your wp-config file.
Please note that using common filenames like below will be auto-deleted:
db.php, database.php, phpmyadmin.php, adminer.php
