Summary : Handle the administration of MySQL over the World Wide Web
Description :
phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of
MySQL over the World Wide Web. Most frequently used operations are supported
by the user interface (managing databases, tables, fields, relations, indexes,
users, permissions), while you still have the ability to directly execute any
SQL statement.

Features include an intuitive web interface, support for most MySQL features
(browse and drop databases, tables, views, fields and indexes, create, copy,
drop, rename and alter databases, tables, fields and indexes, maintenance
server, databases and tables, with proposals on server configuration, execute,
edit and bookmark any SQL-statement, even batch-queries, manage MySQL users
and privileges, manage stored procedures and triggers), import data from CSV
and SQL, export data to various formats: CSV, SQL, XML, PDF, OpenDocument Text
and Spreadsheet, Word, Excel, LATEX and others, administering multiple servers,
creating PDF graphics of your database layout, creating complex queries using
Query-by-example (QBE), searching globally in a database or a subset of it,
transforming stored data into any format using a set of predefined functions,
like displaying BLOB-data as image or download-link and much more...

Update Information:

Upstream announcement: **phpMyAdmin 4.9.2 is released** 2019-11-22 Welcome to
phpMyAdmin 4.9.2, a bugfix release that also contains a security fix. This
security fix is part of an ongoing effort to improve the security of the
Designer feature and is designated **PMASA-2019-5**. There is also an
improvement for how we sanitize Git version information shown on the home page,
thanks to Ali Hubail. This release includes fixes for many bugs, including: *
Fixes for the "Failed to set session cookie" error which relates to the cookie
name. In some cases, data stored in the cookie (such as the previously-used user
account) may not be loaded from a previous phpMyAdmin cookie the first time you
run version 4.9.2 * Fix for Advisor with MySQL 8.0.3 and newer * Fix PHP
deprecation errors * Fix a situation where exporting users after a delete
query could remove users * Fix incorrect "You do not have privileges to
manipulate with the users!" warning * Fix copying a database's privileges and
several other problems moving columns with MariaDB * Fix for phpMyAdmin not
selecting all the values when using shift-click to select during Export There
are many, many more bug fixes thanks to the efforts of our developers and other
contributors. The phpMyAdmin team
