phpMyAdmin is a highly efficient PHP-based software tool used to handle MySQL databases via a web interface. You can employ it to run MySQL commands, create, change and remove cells, rows and tables or control users with different levels of access to the database in question. Each one of these tasks can be done from any device given that you have a web browser and access to the web hosting account where the database is. With phpMyAdmin, you could also export or import a whole database, which is a very beneficial feature if you'd like to migrate an Internet site from one web hosting provider to another. A variety of file formats are supported for the so-called dump file - CSV, SQL, XML and PDF, based on what you'd like to do - move the content from one hosting account to another, preview an entire database in a spreadsheet app like Microsoft Excel, etc.
