shelfimage Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I like phpmyadmin - I need it at least a couple times a week - but it can crash Firefox and hang my computer with large databases. Has anyone tried any of the alternatives like http://phpminiadmin.sourceforge.net & http://www.sqlbuddy.com ? I'm going to upload sqlbuddy and see how it works.

shelfimage Posted December 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Well, it depends on the client. Some are as small as a meg and others can be about 20 megs. But I don't know if it is the database or phpmyadmin. I just assumed the larger db's are to blame although I'm reading that phpmyadmin is hefty and may be a bit bloated.

monkeysaurus Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I've worked on databases up to 400MB on my own machine without problems. However on a production server, I've seen PHPMyAdmin choke on a database about 50Mb in size. We had to allocate more RAM to it on the server. I realise that's a slightly different issue, just thought I'd mention it. I checked out sqlbuddy last night. Although it was nice and fast, I was getting PHP errors and warnings all over the place. (It was MySql server running on Ubuntu). I can't trust a production database to that! Anyone else seeing these problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelfimage Posted December 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I still haven't had a chance to try it out yet. My problems could be b/c of Firefox. I should create a profile that has a trimmed down set of addons because I use a lot and it eats up my RAM. Ff can peak over 350MB on a regular day of work. And it might only happen with certain hosts or php settings. I'll have to keep track of it now b/c I wonder if happens on hosts that have a PHP memory limit setting or execution time.
