Our web host does not support telnet or SSH for its clients and is not interested in working with PhpMyAdmin at the moment (I think I need their assistance if I want to use PhpMyAdmin, right?). Is this rather typical of web hosts?
You do not need their assistance to use phpMyAdmin - it's just another php site. All you need to do is edit its config file, where you enter the database names, usernames and passwords for all your databases. You can then choose a database from the phpMyAdmin "home page". The only limitation is I believe is that to create new databases, you'll have to have "create" rights on the username for one of the databases you set up, and choose that database in phpMyAdmin before creating the new database with SQL.
