Using phpMyAdmin

Download PDF

Manage MySQL databases visually with phpMyAdmin in DirectAdmin.

phpMyAdmin is a web-based tool for managing MySQL and MariaDB databases — import SQL, run queries, and edit tables.

Open phpMyAdmin

Go to Extra Features → phpMyAdmin.
Log in with your database username and password (created in MySQL Management).
Select a database from the left sidebar.

Common tasks

Import — upload a .sql backup to restore or migrate data.
Export — download a backup before making major changes.
Browse — view and edit table rows directly.
SQL — run custom queries for maintenance.

Always export a backup before running destructive queries. Large imports may hit upload limits — use SSH and command-line import for very large databases.
