Adminer VS phpMyAdmin

Heh, what a name for a DB explorer ("Adminer - Database management in a single PHP file"; Apache 2 or GPLv2 https://github.com/vrana/adminer/blob/v4.8.1/readme.txt#L7 )

Web Station test using PHP and Adminer via the 'ancient' unsupported pdo_dblib confirmed SQL Server is working, however I need to write code using the sqlsrv extension.

Another solution I use often is Adminer, it is a single PHP file, working over web server and accessible from anywhere

Personally, I use Adminer (running from Docker).

I use Adminer as my daily tool to explore MySQL databases.

Mastering SQL is like engaging in a deep conversation with databases. Sometimes, you might feel like you're "chatting" with data. But don't worry, tools like phpMyAdmin for managing MySQL databases ensure that your data stays put, bidding farewell to the nightmare of "lost data." This phase requires mastering SQL and relational databases like MySQL, using tools like phpMyAdmin for data management and optimization. Tools to consider: phpMyAdmin, MySQL Workbench, Sequel Pro, and other database management tools.

phpMyAdmin is the stalwart of free open-source database managers. It’s been around forever, and it’s just plain good at what it does — providing a graphical interface for fully managing every aspect of MySQL databases. It’s built using PHP and runs in the browser.

phpMyAdmin was born in 1998, written in PHP, and is a classic SQL client. It was the default tool for LAMP and MAMP at that time. phpMyAdmin has grown to become one of the leading tools for managing MySQL and MySQL-like databases (e.g. MariaDB) It has over 200,000 direct downloads per month (and countless other users install it using prepackaged installations or using package managers).

Is a Docker WordPress Environment focused on the development of WordPress plugins and themes, supports WP-CLI, phpMyAdmin, Xdebug and WordPress Coding Standards - WPCS.

I have been using it for years and while it is a resource hog and it occasionally crashes, I have not found it to be burdensome. You could always set up phpMyAdmin which IMO is sort of antiquated and a true PITA.

phpMyAdmin - SQL Database Viewer

We can do a quick check to see which versions we got, even without file system access. We can even install phpmyadmin (temporarily) as a wp plugin.

CVE-2016-6620 - "code exec" - https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/commit/ba072e4 The patch shows unserialize is only used for parsing a schema snapshot (and "code execution" using this vuln is a stretch, you can run a class destructor with arbitrary variables and destructors rarely do anything exploitable)
