phpMyAdmin 5.2.3 – Free MySQL Database Manager Tool

phpMyAdmin is a free, open-source software tool written in PHP, designed to simplify the administration of MySQL and MariaDB databases over the Web. It supports multiple database operations for both MySQL and MariaDB, making it an essential utility for web-based database management.

You can perform frequently used operations such as managing databases, tables, columns, relations, indexes, users, and permissions directly via the user interface. Crucially, the tool retains the ability for users to execute any SQL statement directly, providing full control over MySQL database administration.

phpMyAdmin includes thorough documentation, and the team encourages users to enhance wiki pages by sharing ideas and “how-to” resources for database management. If you encounter any problems, the phpMyAdmin team is ready to assist, offering help through a variety of support channels for open-source database support.

phpMyAdmin is also thoroughly documented in a dedicated book, Mastering phpMyAdmin for Effective MySQL Management, written by one of its core developers. This comprehensive resource is currently available for purchase in both English and Spanish, offering in-depth knowledge for effective phpMyAdmin usage.

phpMyAdmin is a mature project recognized for its stable and flexible code base, and it has won several industry awards. It is highly accessible globally, having been translated into 72 languages and supporting both Left-to-Right (LTR) and Right-to-Left (RTL) writing systems, solidifying its status as a leading multilingual database tool.
