phpMyAdmin

There are many MySQL Clients(or database administration tools) out there - MySQL Front End, Tora, mysql etc. But in the web environment, one client rules - phpMyAdmin. phpMyAdmin is a PHP based(obviously) GUI administration tool for MySQL.

phpMiniAdmin

If you are working on the LAMP Platform, you would have encountered the MySQL Database administration tool 'phpMyAdmin'. Almost all web control panels provide phpMyAdmin for managing the database. Its a great software - it has a lot of features. But there is a price associated with having that much features - its bulky. It takes some time to load and use. And since it is on the web, that makes it even slower.
