9 years ago 1) I think that a transition to Adminer is a great idea. We then also get a consistent UI for appliances that utilise MySQL and PostrgerSQL!
2) phpSysInfo sounds great. But what sort of setup would you recommend? Another specific port? (e.g. like Webmin, Webshell and phpMyAdmin - probably 12323) or something else? Would(/wouldn't) there be value in adding this to other appliances too!?
Special mentions by High Mobley in the BOSSIE 2013 awards:
1) Adminer is a great alternative to phpMyAdmin. It's a single PHP file and easy to install. The UI is simpler and more intuitive than phpMyAdmin. Adminer also has full support for features such as foreign keys, grouping Select results, sorting results by multiple columns, easy downloading of blob field contents, and editing fields in multiple rows. Adminer can work with MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle Database, whereas phpMyAdmin supports only MySQL. Adminer works with older versions of MySQL and PHP as well.
2) phpSysInfo
Sometimes you just want a simple tool to do a simple job. A set of PHP scripts that pulls data from the /proc file system and lays it out neatly on a Web page, phpSysInfo shows key information about your server, such as RAM and CPU utilization, attached drives and USB devices, available disk space, networking, hard drive SMART (Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) info, and more. For busy admins on the go, there's even an Android client app for phpSysInfo.
