phpPgAdmin to PostgreSQL is the same as PhpMyAdmin is to MySQL, it is the web-based application that provides access to your website’s databases and enables their easy management. If you use PostgreSQL databases, phpPgAdmin is the management tool you must utilize. Just like PHPMyAdmin, it is written in PHP and its purpose is to simplify as much as possible the creation and usage of databases even for inexperienced users.

PhpPgAdmin is available in multiple languages – currently 27. It is easy to set up and configure and allows the management of more servers at once. You can do anything via the graphical interface of phpPgAdmin, but you can use SQL commands as well or import various SQL scripts. The plain interface enables you to create data tables and insert content almost automatically.

phpPgAdmin Features

phpPgAdmin is simple, but it is loaded with numerous features that are the key to PostgreSQL’s flexibility and reliability. As mentioned the application simplifies the creation of PostgreSQL databases, the editing of tables, columns, and fields, as well as the implementation of SQL statements and various scripts. With phpPgAdmin you can also:

PostgreSQL

The PostgreSQL database is based on the object-relational database model unlike MySQL, which is a relational database system. PostgreSQL is somewhere between the relational and the object-oriented database systems. Object-relational databases like Postgres might appear slightly more difficult for management but enable the creation of more complex data.

The PostgreSQL database management system is fully-featured free software available for most operating systems including Linux, Windows, Mac OS, FreeBSD, and Solaris. It is entirely ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability)-compliant, and that guarantees the reliability of the database. PostgreSQL provides great security with easy backup and Point In Time Recovery options, as well as SSL encrypted communication over the database. The database also enables the usage of various programming languages.

PostgreSQL or MySQL?

Both MySQL and PostgreSQL are very powerful free tools with minor differences and which one you will choose largely depends on the tasks you are using your database for and your personal preferences. However, there are some dissimilarities that could be pointed out: MySQL isn’t fully ACID-compliant and this depends on the storage engine you are using with it. Still, there are various storage engines that can be used with MySQL, thus adding to the flexibility of the database. PostgreSQL runs on one storage engine but offers full support for asynchronous command processing that’s not fully available for MySQL. Postgres is also more powerful in terms of triggers, which are supported by both databases. Nevertheless, MySQL triggers execute SQL statements only, while PostgreSQL works with any user-defined functions on each of its procedural programming languages but they are harder to learn. Postgres also supports multiple trigger actions and many triggers of the same type while MySQL doesn’t. Postgres has much wider data type support and partial indexes support. On the other hand, MySQL supports more types of horizontal partitioning than PostgreSQL.

PhpMyAdmin is a program written mainly in PHP (also with CSS and JavaScript) for the management of website databases. phpMyAdmin is an open-source tool with a web-based interface that can be accessed via any web browser. It is created especially for the administration of MySQL databases and can be used on any operating system. Another great advantage of the phpMyAdmin is that it is available in multiple languages (currently translated in 68 languages). phpMyAdmin was initially released in 1998 and since then it has become one of the most widely used applications for the management of MySQL databases.

PhpMyAdmin Features

Using the graphic interface of PHPMyAdmin you can easily make, delete or edit databases and manage all their elements: tables with their rows and columns, indexes, fields, statements, and queries. You can control users’ permissions and administer several servers simultaneously. PhpMyAdmin will help you to easily synchronize databases and search through them, import text files and monitor changes in your databases. You can execute complex quires and SQL statements, create and edit functions, events, and triggers. With phpMyAdmin, you can back up your databases and export data into different formats including CSV (comma-separated values), SQL, XML, PDF, OpenDocument Text and Spreadsheet, Word, Excel, LATEX, etc. PhpMyAmin supports foreign keys, MySQL and InnoDB.

MySQL

MySQL is the most widely used open-source database management system (software that enables the development and management of databases) that enables the creation of multiple databases that can be accessed by many users simultaneously. MySQL is used for the management of relational databases that are most commonly used for the storage of great amounts of all types of data. Relations are typically presented as tables with columns and rows. For the use of relational databases, indexes could be created that simplify and speed up access to the information. MySQL is deployed by various large and demanding websites including popular sites like Facebook, Wikipedia, Twitter, Flickr and so on. MySQL has a few versions – one free and a couple of paid ones that offer additional functionalities.

MySQL Usage

MySQL is part of the LAMP software package often used for the development of web servers. MySQL databases are used by various CMSs and popular web programs like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, phpBB, TYPO3 and many other applications built on the LAMP software stack. The wide use of MySQL is also due to the fact that it is user-friendly and very flexible: available for about 30 computing platforms including Linux, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, AIX, Solaris, Symbian, etc.

For the management of MySQL, there are various graphical applications that can be used for simple user-friendly creation and manipulation of databases, most popular of which is phpMyAdmin – also free web-based application offered by most hosts worldwide.
