Managing Database Using phpMyAdmin
phpMyAdmin is a web-based tool for administering MariaDB and MySQL. This article describes how you can manage your database using phpMyAdmin in the Control Panel.
Before you launch phpMyAdmin, you need to create your database and user in the Cloud Clusters Control Panel. Please see How to Create Databases and Users.
1. Locate your target application
Log in to the Control Panel and locate your target application on the Home page or the My Applications page.
2. Navigate to the “phpMyAdmin” page
Click the "Manage" button on the Home page or the My Applications page to go to the phpMyAdmin page.
3. Access phpMyAdmin
Click “Launch” to go to the login interface of phpMyAdmin.
Note: Please do go to phpMyAdmin through the Launch button in our control panel as it brings unique information that required by the login. That being said, going directly to the login url will cause login failure.
Log in to the phpMyAdmin with one of the database users’ username and password.
On the phpMyAdmin interface, you will see a list of databases that the login user has access permission to on the left panel. Click on the database you want to manage.
On this new page, you will see a list of the database tables, the allowed actions with them, the number of the records, the storage engine, the collation,etc.
4. Perform Common Functions in phpMyAdmin
In the top menu, you’ll see various options for the database you’re working with, such as: Structure, SQL, Search, Query, Export, Import, Operations, Privileges, Routines, etc.
Note: when you import files using phpMyAdmin, the file size can not excess 100M. If you need to transfer larger files, please refer to Transferring Data via FTPS.
