Ask HN: phpmyadmin alternatives for simple db tasks

2 pointscodegeek2 comments

I am not a db expert and when it comes to db management, I am just using phpmyadmin on my dev server. Yes, I confess. It is not pretty/secure etc but it does the task specially in dev.

However, I was wondering what other options are out there that are easier and simpler. All I want is a GUI on top of my db (mysql,postgresql) to run select, insert, update queries as needed. No bloat.

Have a look Adminer[0]. It is a database tool, much like PhpMyAdmin but in a single file. It's user interface is a bit more bare but it is really handy when you just need a quick way to interact with a database.
