Adminer, accessible at https://www.adminer.org, is a comprehensive database management tool that supports multiple database systems including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MS SQL, Oracle, and others. It is widely appreciated for its user-friendly interface and robust feature set.

Whether you're a database administrator or a developer, Adminer provides a convenient and efficient way to manage your databases without the bulkiness of larger applications.

What do you like best about Adminer?

Limpar interface do usuário, funciona rápido, bem atualizado e escolha exata de bancos de dados também aspecto esplêndido em Adminer que é apenas um fácil Hypertext Preprocessor-script que você pode adicionar ao seu servidor fazer o que você precisa e levar para motivos de segurança. É tão fácil de configurar e executar quanto possível - carregue um registro PHP não casado no servidor, insira as credenciais do banco de dados, prossiga É tão fácil configurar e executar quanto possível - fazer o upload de um solteirão Registro PHP para o servidor, insira as credenciais do banco de dados, vá em frente Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adminer?

La GUI tiene experiencia antigua y usará un mejor estilo para una navegación más easy. Para essas instâncias, posso escrever uma pergunta manual em SQL, mas parece que um botão simples pode ser suficiente. A GUI faz sentido anterior e poderia usar um estilo melhor para uma navegação mais simples. Agora não é imediatamente intuitivo para o consumidor Para minha utilização diária, isso funciona simplesmente excelente e não tem algo que eu não goste. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adminer solving and how is that benefiting you?

É fácil de usar. Manutenção de autorização básica. Administrador não é uma opção. Certo, porque não trabalhei mais com o phpMyAdmin por mais de 10 anos Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adminer?

It is as clean to set up and walk as possible: add a single PHP file to the server, enter the database credentials, start! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adminer?

The GUI has an outdated experience and will use a better style for simpler navigation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Adminer:

Although it is no longer as handsome as PhpMyAdmin at first glance, it is the internal features that matter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adminer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sometimes, when making small modifications at a time in a client's database, you cannot log in remotely to the DB. This is while Adminer is useful, unlike PMA, now it doesn't need configuration and is contained in a single PHP file, and still offers something you need: exports, imports, searches, queries, database operations, basically everything.

What do you like best about Adminer?

The software itself is mindblowing and easy to install on the server and use. As it is only a point about uploading one file to the server, it is quite beneficial for Database Administrators to set it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adminer?

The UX is not very good. It's not directly intuitive to the user. Else, I have no issues with this software. It's good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Adminer:

Recommending it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adminer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Use it for administrating various DBMS locally as well as remotely. Works well on even big databases. The simplistic file makes it very intriguing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adminer?

The best part about this product Adminer is that it's free and open source and also only one file needs to be copied to the server for the installation of this, unlike other famous tools like PHPMyAdmin where full folder needed to be copied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adminer?

For my daily usage, this works just fine and doesn't have anything that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adminer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Used to monitor database changes and adminisiter database via Adminer. It's quick and hassle free, and also has dynamic qualities and is lightweight so can be installed anywhere anytime like a portable PHP script. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adminer?

Technically, Adminer seems just a PHP script but it encapsulates a fully-functional database administration panel. Even if it's contained in a single page, it can be easily compared to other famous tools like PHPMyAdmin and it wins in many points: smart autocomplete when creating tables, persistent and multiple login sessions, easy export functionalities and a much more concise graphical interface. Also, the setup is the simplest thing ever: you just have to put the script in a folder and you are done! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adminer?

For my tipical usage, I can't find big problems in this tool. It really does it job and it does it well. Maybe it lacks a way to customize the GUI and to organize the view for personal needs, not just the ability to change the CSS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Adminer:

If you are looking for a minimal DBMS with interesting features, just go for Adminer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adminer solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm using it to maintain a big database for a mobile application. I never felt the need of a bigger DBMS like PHPMyAdmin... Adminer has everything I need! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adminer?

I like that it's a self-hosted, web-based administration tool for PostgreSQL (and other databases, though I've only used it for PG). Encoding parameters in the URL means you can refresh the page. Best of all, it's in active development and hasn't been abandoned yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adminer?

Some features that seem like they should be obvious are missing. For instance, I cannot TRUNCATE a table through the web interface, nor is there an option for CASCADEing. For these cases, I can write a manual SQL query, but seems like a simple button would suffice. I've also noticed that my search_path isn't set correctly when executing SQL queries. If I want the search_path to be set, I have to add "SET search_path TO my,search,path;" at the top of every SQL query. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adminer?

In Adminer I like simplicity and clear user interface. Also great thing in Adminer that it is just a simple php-script that you could upload to your server do what you need and remove to for security reasons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adminer?

Can't say that I dislike something, but there is a way to improve Adminer. For example, Make custom query to DB and have all usuall ability to check multiple records to modify or delete. Also want the ability to move columns to get a better view of my data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Adminer:

Don't think. Just give it a try and you will never return to your previous tool. Adminer is not an option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Adminer solving and how is that benefiting you?

First is security. I don't need to install phpMyAdmin and pray that no one will hack it.

Second is speed brought by simplicity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
