PHPMyAdmin (PMA) is an excellent free, open source web-based database client which can be used to interact more easily with MySQL and application databases. Jeff Reifman will describe how to install it, secure it and some common scenarios with which it can assist you in database administration.
In addition to offering a visual GUI for database operations, he also appreciates being able to run command line SQL operations via my browser without having to log in to the server via SSH. For example, some WiFi connections and mobile hotspots regularly terminate persistent SSH sessions, making database tasks problematic.
