Getting Started

Supported Databases

DBEverywhere supports a wide range of database engines through two tools: phpMyAdmin and Adminer. When you connect, DBEverywhere automatically selects the right tool based on the database type you choose on the connection form.

Which Tool for Which Database

Database Engine Tool Used
MySQL phpMyAdmin
MariaDB phpMyAdmin
PostgreSQL Adminer
SQLite Adminer
Microsoft SQL Server Adminer
Oracle Adminer
MongoDB Adminer

phpMyAdmin

phpMyAdmin is used for MySQL and MariaDB connections. It is the most widely used web-based MySQL administration tool, with support for:

  • Browsing and editing tables, rows, and columns
  • Running SQL queries
  • Importing and exporting databases (SQL, CSV, JSON, and more)
  • Managing users, permissions, and privileges
  • Creating and modifying indexes, views, triggers, and routines

Adminer

Adminer is used for PostgreSQL, SQLite, MS SQL, Oracle, and MongoDB connections. It is a lightweight but full-featured database management tool that supports:

  • Browsing and editing data
  • Running SQL queries
  • Importing and exporting
  • Managing tables, views, and schemas
  • Working across multiple database engines with a consistent interface

You Don't Need to Choose

You never need to pick which tool to use. When you select a database type on the connection form, DBEverywhere routes you to the correct tool automatically. MySQL and MariaDB connections always go through phpMyAdmin. Everything else goes through Adminer.
