PHPMyAdmin is perhaps the most popular alternative to MySQL Workbench. It a free web-application for database management and administration. Since it a web application, it takes a little more effort to set up PHPMyAdmin, compared to desktop clients. However, PHPMyAdmin is very useful in connecting to remote databases. Since it is a web application, it can be easily installed on any server and made to accept incoming connections from multiple client browsers. This setup works well for team environments, where everyone doesn’t need to install a desktop client separately.Īlso, most web hosts support PHPMyAdmin out of the box. So PHPMyAdmin is widely favored by web developers. It provides all the key features found in other MySQL clients mentioned above, such as managing databases, tables, users, columns, indexes, relations, permissions, etc. If you are a single user who uses Windows use HeidiSQL. If have multiple users who need to access MySQL database, use PHPMyAdmin. If you don’t mind paying for support, try Navicat.
