MySQL Workbench vs phpMyAdmin
Developers should use MySQL Workbench when working with MySQL databases to visually design schemas, write and debug SQL queries, and manage database servers efficiently meets developers should use phpmyadmin when they need a quick, visual way to manage mysql or mariadb databases, especially in web development environments like lamp/lemp stacks or for debugging and prototyping. Here's our take.
