phpMyAdmin is the most popular web interface for managing MySQL databases. But there are many other tools available which we can use in place of phpMyAdmin. Using this article, I am trying to provide you a list of alternatives of phpMyAdmin.
1. Adminer
Adminer is the my first choice to use rather than phpMyAdmin. Adminer is available in single php script, which can be easily uploaded in document root and easily access without any installation or configuration. Adminer also can be used to manage SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL etc.
2. MyWebSQL
MyWebSQL is an ultimate desktop replacement for other for managing your MySQL databases over the web. With interface that works just like your favourite desktop applications, you don’t need to keep switching over webpages to get simple things done. Just login to your database and manage your database as if your are working on your desktop!
3. phpMiniAdmin
phpMiniAdmin is extremely lightweight alternative of phpMyAdmin for quick and easy management MySQL databases. phpminiadmin is written in php language of size 10+KB only, which can easily upload to web server document root and access in web browser.
4. SQL Buddy
SQL Buddy is an awesome tool for Administration of MySQL as a alternatives of phpMyAdmin. it’s super-easy to set up, having a beautiful interface.

phpmyadmin is awfull. Require complex installation, always occur complications like ‘access denied…’.
I do not know user who have no problems with phpmyadmin on Unix and who need to find workaround. It’s pretty retarded application.
I can also advice dbForge Studio for MySQL. Good GUI tool for MySQL that solves all problems like data and schema comparison, synchronization, mysql prompt, visual query builder, database designer and other.
