Need a web GUI interface to MySQL

[JaredBusch]

Is phpMyAdmin still the goto for this?

Is there something better?

[black3dynamite]

I either use phpMyAdmin or Adminer.

I like how lightweight adminer is.

I may have to give that one a check. We still use phpMyAdmin here.

I love how clean the interface is.

If you want web GUI for users, check out

http://www.vfront.org/

For admin stuff, most devs uses mysql workbench its 28 MB and has alot of functionality.

If you want to do via WEB go phpmyadmin.

Why do you want to use anything other than phpmyadmin, it is very stable mature project since years, the other alternatives for it are meh, who gives shit if the alternative is single file install.

I use phpMyAdmin for web GUI... but when it's publicly accessible, I don't use a default setup. There's some extra steps in securing it that are often overlooked.

[JaredBusch]

nice overview on the editor side .

Also, damn, 3.5 million calls in the CDR since Jan 10, 2013.

Never used adminer before... gonna check it out.

It looks like a damn good and more secure replacement.

i've not looked at securing.

This is internal only for the moment. jsut needed some quick access tools for testing.

[dbeato]

I still use PHpmyadmin and has worked well.

If necessary, one can setup basic HTTP authentication using nginx.

If it doesn't have to be web based you could use MySQL Workbench - which I think is more capable than the web GUIs.

Overkill and slow.

Because it is bloated piece of crap. I have never liked it. It always seemed too complicated for a basic task.

And it is most certainly not stable. it totally totally broke not that many years back.

I use just the CLI client when I can get away with it, phpMyAdmin when I can't. But I admit that it is way too much bloat for something really basic. I prefer MongoDB's GUI manager for most things, but it lacks some basics that you miss from phpMyAdmin.

Right, I generally just use the CLI and fire some basic queries. But in this instance it was an unknown database structure with unknown amounts of data.

A simple PHP based GUI like phpMyAdmin is really nice for that.

I had never heard of Adminer before, but it is now my 100% go to solution for this.

Just drop the adminer.php and editor.php file in the www root folder and get a quick glance of what you have or whatever. Then delete them.

[scottalanmiller]

What I like about MongoDB's native management app is that you run it on your desktop, connect to the server over SSH, and it talks to the database over that channel so literally nothing gets installed server side, only client side.

It's not overkill if you're a DBA or developer.
And if you're smart you install it on the machine you do admin from and not on each server.
And you did ask for the best...
