It supports foreign keys and InnoDB tables. We can also create PDF graphics of our database layout. It supports mysqli, which is the improved MySQL extension. By using a set of pre-defined functions, it can transform stored data into any format. For example - BLOB-data as image or download-link. It provides the facility to backup the database into different forms. We can easily create, delete, and edit the database and can manage all elements using the graphical interface of phpMyAdmin , which is much easier than MySQL command-line editor.
We can execute complex SQL statements and queries, create and edit functions, triggers, and events using the graphical interface of phpMyAdmin. Disadvantage of phpMyAdmin phpMyAdmin is a simple interface, but quite tough for a beginner to learn. We have to install all these software tools individually, whereas XAMPP already contains them in a single package.
It has no schema visualization. It does not have auto-compilation capability. There are some backup problems with phpMyAdmin that are given below: Scheduling - There is no way to export the data of the database in phpMyAdmin automatically.
Storage media support - As we have discussed earlier, phpMyAdmin is web-based software, so it runs only on the browser. We can take backups only to local drives of our system. Compression, Encryption, and other option - The files which are exported with phpMyAdmin are saved as common text files, with any additional processing.
Whereas storing these files in the original form usually takes a lot of disk storage. Database - phpMyAdmin supports databases, i. MySQL 5. We have to write query every time to execute on MySQL console. We have to learn database query to create, delete, alter, update, and drop to execute on MySQL console, whereas in phpMyAdmin we can do it using graphical user interface which automatically executes these queries in background.
How to install phpMyAdmin? Step 2: A popup window will open. Click on Close button and move to the next step.

How to work with phpMyAdmin?
Now enter the field name, type, their size, and any constraint here and save it. The table is created successfully. We can make changes in the table from here. Database creation using coding with phpMyAdmin We can create the database and tables using phpMyAdmin graphical user interface as well as with coding in php.
Rarely do I edit that database anymore. At work we we use MySQL workbench for modelling our DBs, writing the functions and stored procedures, defining foreign keys and constraints and managing user permissions.
SQLYog has also been mentioned, which is also not free. I have used Heidi in the past; found it completely confusing and unintuitive. I use whatever tool that has been given to me. But at the same time I ask for command line SSH access. In my opinion these applications do not compete but complement each other. I usually prefer PMA for data viewing, searching, updating and column manipulations. I can open many different pages of PMA in browser tabs, which is very handy. SQLYog is excellent for data exporting and importing very fast!
