phpMyAdmin is a tool written in php language and designed specifically to integrate with MySQL.
The majority of Web applications have some control of a database particularly the ones that have been designed in HTML and PHP. There are different tools for creation and maintenance of databases, but one of the most used is MySQL.
MySQL is a very powerful management system but lacks a graphical interface for performing tasks, because all used queries are input by command line.
phpMyAdmin is a powerful database manager that uses MySQL and has a friendly graphical interface.
Some characteristics that stand out of phpMyAdmin are:
- Possibility of creating, eliminating and altering databases.
- Support for sentences written in SQL language.
- Support for creating users with different privileges to work on the created databases or in any particular one.
With phpMyAdmin we can work on our databases in a visual and structured way.
