Given that my limited experience of C5 as yet does not allow me to answer many questions here I thought I would pitch in and contribute by posting occasional things that really help me as a web developer using C5.

This post points to one such thing.

Namely...a while back I found a much better MySQL admin utility than phpMyAdmin (in my opinion).

Bear in mind that I have been using phpMyAdmin for years. It has been my tool of choice for web based, MySQL administration in all that time. I can't remember what caused me to look around for another one but I did and I am glad I did.

Because I found Adminer.

It is far better than phpMyAdmin for my purposes. It is FAST, streamlined, powerful, and doesn't get in my way when I want to do something quickly like phpMyAdmin tends to do (in that I must go through this or that screen on this or that other screen and click on this button and then on another button to get things done sometimes).

It's also super easy to install and configure.

Did I say it was FAST? :).

Oh it also touts itself as being more secure than phpMyAdmin too!

Things are clearly laid out and are quite intuitive in it's interface. Not as many bells and whistles as phpMyAdmin but for getting things done FAST...who cares?

PS. I am not in any way associated with Adminer, nor do I make anything or gain anything from making this recommendation (well...other than building good will here by contributing through this recommendation I guess :)).
