Database management tools provide a web interface for the administration
of databases. The tools also allow running SQL queries from this user
interface.
Plesk is shipped with the following database management tools:
- phpMyAdmin is used for MySQL databases.
- myLittleAdmin is used for Microsoft SQL Server.
Note that you need to install these tools first in Tools & Settings
> Updates > Add/Remove Components.
Enabling direct access to phpMyAdmin
You can enable direct access to phpMyAdmin and make it accessible by
browsing the following URL:
https://<host-name-or-IP>:8443/phpmyadmin
To do so, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:
[databaseManagement]
features.phpMyAdmin.loginForm.enabled = on
To open a database management tool for the selected database server:
- Go to Tools & Settings > Database Servers.
- Click the
icon corresponding to the database server
you need to manage. One of the supported database management tools
(depending on the database engine) will open in a separate browser
window.
