phpMyAdmin is an efficient PHP-based tool which is used to manage MySQL databases via a web interface. You can employ it to run MySQL commands, create, edit and remove cells, rows and tables or handle users with various levels of access to the database in question. Every single one of these tasks can easily be performed from any device as long as you have a browser and access to the hosting account in which the database is. With phpMyAdmin, you can also export or import an entire database, which is a very useful feature if you would like to migrate a website from one web hosting company to another. Several different file formats are supported for the so-called dump file - CSV, SQL, XML and PDF, dependant upon what you'd like to do - move the data from one hosting account to another, preview an entire database in a spreadsheet application for example Microsoft Excel, and so on.
phpMyAdmin in Hosting
phpMyAdmin is a part of every single hosting plan that we provide and it is accessible through our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel. A small phpMyAdmin icon will be shown on the right side of every database you set up in the MySQL Databases section of the CP and by clicking on the icon for the database that you want to access, you shall be logged into the application instantly in a new tab of your Internet browser. Then you can do anything you'd like - export the whole or a part of the data, import a database, run SQL queries, search and change terms. If you don't want to go through the CP, you shall also be able to sign in through a direct phpMyAdmin login page, but you need to know the database username and password. The last feature is helpful if you have to give access to a database to a third-party.
