## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: stable
- function: database, gui, web-framework
- domain: databases, web-development, developer-tools, self-hosted
- platform: php, self-hosted, cross-platform
