PhpMyAdmin and PhpOracleAdmin

PhpMyAdmin is a very helpful tool that can be used to browse existing tables, select, insert, and update rows, and add and drop columns. You can also use it to run SQL queries against your database: you simply dump the creation SQL and the data from the table to a flat file, separated by commas or some other delimiter. This is certainly a very useful bunch of features; however, the original PhpMyAdmin can only be used only with the MySQL database.[39]

The PhpMyAdmin project was started back in 1998 by Tobias Ratschiller, as a result of the author’s increasing frustration with other tools. The PhpMyAdmin project has grown phenomenally in the past few years, benefiting from contributions from the user community in the form of many diffs and patches. The 2.0.5 version of the tool has been downloaded more than 150,000 times. Version 2.1.0 was released in August 2000.

As this book was going to press, news came that work on a port to Oracle had finally begun. Anton Bangratz started the work on PhpOracleAdmin, and Thomas Fromm is performing active development. The most recent pre-release was in January 2001, and we hope to see the port completed soon. PhpOracleAdmin development is still in its infancy, but the demo certainly looks promising.
