phpMyAdmin is a free, PHP-based web application for administering MySQL and MariaDB databases through a browser. It supports managing databases, tables, users, and privileges, running SQL queries, and importing/exporting data in many formats.

Use cases

• manage mysql databases from a browser
• run sql queries against mariadb
• create and edit database tables and columns
• manage mysql user accounts and privileges
• import csv or sql dumps into a database
• export database to sql, csv, or xml
• administer multiple mysql servers from one interface
• browse and edit table data with a gui

When to choose

• you need a browser-based admin UI for MySQL or MariaDB
• you want a mature, widely deployed tool with multi-language support
• you need import/export across many formats like CSV, SQL, XML, and PDF
• you manage multiple database servers from one place

When to avoid

• you use PostgreSQL, SQLite, or other non-MySQL databases
• you prefer CLI tools like the mysql client or modern alternatives like Adminer
• you need programmatic database access from application code rather than administration
• exposing a PHP web app to your database server is unacceptable for security policy
