## What it is
Adminer is a full-featured database management tool written in PHP that ships as a single deployable file. It supports MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MS SQL, Oracle, and more via plugins, offering browsing, editing, SQL execution, and export through a web interface.

## Use cases
- manage mysql databases from a browser
- lightweight phpmyadmin alternative
- browse and edit postgresql tables
- run sql queries against sqlite
- export database schema and data to sql or csv
- quickly deploy a db admin tool on a server

## When to choose
- you need a zero-install, single-file database admin UI
- you work with multiple database engines and want one tool
- you want a lightweight alternative to phpMyAdmin

## When to avoid
- you need a heavy-duty DBA suite with advanced monitoring
- you cannot run PHP on your server
- you require multi-user access control out of the box
