ssh in to your synology.
run mysql as the user and password you set up when following the wiki instructions.
The database is called MyVideosxx where xx depends on kodi version number.

You can also install phpMyAdmin from the Package Center on the Synology, then you will be able to view/maintain the database via the browser, and check size, overhead etc and drop old databases.

mysql -h 192.168.0.13 -u xbmc -p
show databases
connect elternvideoXX
Now run your SQL commands.

Bugger, so it has the server, but not the client. Oh well, run from a computer that does have mysql client on it. Simple on a Linux machine.

Because different versions of xbmc/kodi use different db versions. When you run a new version of xbmc/kodi it updates the db and leaves the old behind. The wiki lists what version goes with which database.
