A simple example can be found at the MySQL docs site, of which I will copy the highlights. To create a new MySQL user: Login to MySQL in Terminal:mysql -u username. In the prompt:CREATE USER 'admin'@'localhost'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON. TO 'admin'@'localhost'; If you want to create a database: create database name; is all you need to do. How do I install XAMPP for Mac OS X? To install XAMPP, follow these steps: Open the DMG-Image. Double-click the image to start the installation process. XAMPP is now installed below the /Applications/XAMPP directory. Does XAMPP include MySQL or MariaDB? Since XAMPP 5.5.30 and 5.6.14, XAMPP ships MariaDB instead of MySQL. MySQL Administrator is designed to work with MySQL versions 4.0 and higher. MySQL Administrator is, to a large extent, the result of feedback received from many users over a period of several years. However, if you find it's lacking some feature important to you, or if you discover a bug, please use ourMySQL Bug System to re.

Download

Many operating systems already include a phpMyAdmin package and will automatically keep it updated, however these versions are sometimes slightly outdated and therefore may be missing the latest features. Additionally, the configuration process varies widely by package and may not adhere to the official phpMyAdmin documentation. That being said, it is usually the quickest and easiest way of keeping an updated installation. Please contact your OS vendor for more information. Some additional information is also available in our documentation. If you just want to try phpMyAdmin in a virtual machine, you might want to check the available software appliances which provide phpMyAdmin.

If you do not find a suitable package or wish to install your own phpMyAdmin, you can download one of the following kits. Please note that each version has requirements for the minimum PHP and MySQL versions.

Since July 2015 all phpMyAdmin releases are cryptographically signed by thereleasing developer. You should verify that the signature matches the archiveyou have downloaded. Verification instructions are placed in ourdocumentation in the Verifying phpMyAdmin releases chapter.

Due to technical limitations, we're currently unable to publish phpMyAdmin directly in Packagist repository, but it is possible to install phpMyAdmin from our own Composer repository. Please check our manual for more information.

Appliances

Software appliances are becoming a popular way of distributing software. They are distributed as an image, which can be directly used by system (be it ISO image for bootable CD or virtual disks for some type of virtualization).

There are quite many appliances which provide phpMyAdmin as a management tool for MySQL. It usually comes as part of LAMP stack but there might be other offerings as well. Please check your favorite appliance provider, ISV or app store for it. Some of the appliances are listed on Wikipedia.

Supported versions

Generally only last stable branch is supported, but there are LTS branches to support older PHP versions. Current stable branch is supported for bug fixes, LTS branches for security fixes only.

You still have the ability to execute SQL statements directly aswell.

  Tobias Ratschiller, then an IT consultant andlater founder of the software company Maguma, started to work on a PHP-basedweb front-end to MySQL in 1998, inspired by Peter Kuppelwieser'sMySQL-Webadmin. He gave up the project (and phpAdsNew, of which he was also theoriginal author) in 2000 because of lack of time. By that time, phpMyAdmin hadalready become one of the most popular PHP applications and MySQLadministration tools, with a large community of users and contributors. Inorder to coordinate the growing number of patches, a group of three developers,Olivier Müller, Marc Delisle and Loïc Chapeaux, registered the phpMyAdminproject at SourceForge.net and took over the development in 2001.

  Conclusion

  Runner-Ups

  Of course not every beloved MySQL product could make it onthe list. Here are a few more for your consideration:

  I am confident that you will find a product to suit yourneeds in this group. They are in no particular order, so feel free to try anythat catches your eye. I should also point out that I received absolutely nofinancial compensation from any of these companies. My assessment of eachproduct is based on my unbiased opinion. As such, my top ten list may divergeslightly from the general consensus.

A few things have changed in the database landscape since our Top 10 MySQL GUI Tools list was compiled--in particular the emergence of cloud services. Keep that in mind when searching for the right MySQL admin tool.

Most relational databases, with the notable exception of MS Access, are comprised of two distinct components: the back-end, where the data is warehoused, and the front-end, a user interface for communicating with the data component. This type of design is quite clever, as it parallels the two tier programming model that separates the data layer from the user interface and allows the makers of the database software to focus on their product’s strongest suit: data storage and management. It also opens the door for third parties to create rich applications to interact with various databases. Such products include Embarkedaro Rapid SQL and Oracle SQL Developer. Here are ten outstanding graphical interfaces for MySQL.
