"Easy, Free Database Management with Quick Backups, Imports/Exports, and Query History"

5/5

What do you like best about phpMyAdmin?

EASY TO USE WITH SIMPLE INTERFACE MAKES IT MY FIRST PRIORITY, MANAGING MULTIPLE DATABASE AT A SINGLE PLACE HELPS A LOT, EVEN FOR NON TECHINICAL USERS, THIS THING MAKES IT THE MAIN REASON TO LOVE. CREATING DATABASE,TABLES AND MANAGING THE DATABASE IS MUCH EASY WITH SQL QUERIES, IT SAVES A LOT OF TIME AND HELPS TO REDUCE RESOURSES. IMPORTING AND EXPORTING OF DATABASE IS VERY EASY WITHOUT ANY PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE, BEST THING IS WE CAN EXPORT FULL DB OR ANY SPECIFIC TABLE AND SAME WITH IMPORT PART, IT MAKES THIS TASK VERY EASY. I HAVE MANY WEBSITES, IT IS VERY EASY TO TAKE DATABAE BACKUP IN SINGLE CLICK, NOT ONLY .SQL FILE, WE CAN PERFORM PARTICULAR QUERIESS AND EXPORT THE REQUIRED DATA IN EXCEL OR OTHER FORMS WHICH WILL BE USED TO SAVE TIME. QUERY HISTORY ALSO HELPS A LOT TO MAKE TASK EASY AND SAVES TIME. EASY TO CHECK THE DATATYPE OF FIELDS , VERY EASY AND USEFULL. MOREOVER ITS FREE WHICH HELPS ALL TYPE OF USERS TO USE. MAKING SQL QUERIES IS ALSO VERY EASY Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about phpMyAdmin?

THE THING WHICH I DONT LIKE IS THAT IT BECOMES SLOW WHE WE WORK WITH HEAVY DATABASE.ONE MORE -VE POINT IS WHEN WE G INSIDE A TABLE,AS SOON AS WE CLICK ON THE PARTICULAR VALUE IT COMES IN EDIT MODE, SOMETIMES THIS THING DELETED IMPORTANT DATA, THIS IS VERY BIG ISSUE, BY MISTAKE USER DELETES DATA AND THEN WASTING TIME TO GET IT BACK, ERROR MESSAGES NEEDS TO BE IN BIT DETAIL. SOMETIMES IF YOUR DATABASE HAS MORE NUMBER OF TABLES,IT BECOMES HARD TO SCROLL TILL EXTREME RIGHT, ATLEAST IT SHOULD FREEZE THE ID COLUMN ,IT WILL HELP TO SAVE TIME OR ELSE EVERYTIME I HAVE TO SCROLL AND EDIT ONE BY ONE AND THIS MAKES MORE POSSIBILITY OF MISTAKE. SEARCH OPTION SHOULD SEARCH THE ENTIRE DB, IT ONLY SEARCH FROM THE 15 OR 25 IN TABLE, FIRST I HAVE TO CLICK ON SHOWALL THEN I HAVE TO SEARCH,,THIS IS MAJOR DRAWBACK Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is phpMyAdmin solving and how is that benefiting you?

IT SIMPLIFIES TO HANDLE THE DATABASE AND TABLES. ITS VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND, NO NEED TO REMEMBER BIG COMPLEX SQL QUERIES, THIS SAVES MY TIME. ONE IMPORTANT THING ISI CODE IN PHP AND PHP LARAVEL, HANDLING MULTIPLE TYPE OF DATABASE AT A SINGLE PLACE HELPS A LOT, I DONT NEED TO GO TO OTHER OPTIONS OR SOFTWARES. VERY EASY TO HANDLE AT SAME PLACE.WHEN DATABASE HANDLING BECOMES EASY, THEN OVERALL DEVELOPMENT BECOMES EASY, THIS THING HANDLES BACKEND DB VERY WELL WHICH DIRECTLY HELPS TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT WITH EASY SETUP. EVEN FOR BEGINERS, IT LOOKS VERY EASY AND ITS EASY TO LEARN, VERY SIMPLE INTERFACE. MAIN HEADACHE IS TAKING REQUIRED DATA FROM OCEAN, USING SQL QUERY IT NOT ONLY HELPS TO GET THE DATA BUT GIVING MULTIPLE EXPORT OPTIONS HELPS MORE TO SAVE DATA.I USUALLY WORKS WITH SCHOOLS, THERE IS HUGE DATA OF THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS , I CA EASILY GET THE REQUIRED DATA FROM HUGE DATA, THIS HELPS A LOT Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
