Hi,
Yes, Mike is right - the project's purpose is to allow the
intermediate-to-advanced DB admin to do common tasks on the DB, without
having to remember the exact SQL syntax, table and field names, etc. Also,
the project in its current form, allows easy data export in tab-delimited
format. My future plans include addition of some feautres like
auto-completion of field and table names, smarted query building, support
for more DB servers, like ORACLE, etc.
Tools like phpmyadmin are more wizard-oriented, and I do not like such
"improvements" that only make general power-user's or admin's life harder :)
The idea is general query templates + the power of raw query execution if
needed.
If you haven't done it yet, please download the sqlDBA package from the site
and try it to see what it can do.
