PMA

Sometimes developer needs an access to Magento database, but lacks command line option. Or mad MySQL CLI skills. Sometimes installing phpMyAdmin is too much hassle to fix a record or two. And because of associated inconvenience, sometimes people “forget” to remove it once installed, leaving a window of opportunity to anyone smart enough to find it and exploit it. Enter Multon_PMA: easy to install, easy to remove; phpMyAdmin as an Extension.

Features (0.1.6; 20141018):

  • Includes phpMyAdmin 4.2.10, unchanged;
  • Single Sign-On, no need for separate login;
  • Gives developer all the database privileges Magento has;
  • Packaged for convenient installation and removal;

There might be a number of potential problems, for example how sessions are handled. Also, I haven’t had chance to try it out with sockets and alternative ports. Please test and report; I’ll try to fix bugs as time permits. Or even better, submit the fix yourself to GitHub!

Download:
Multon_PMA-0.1.6.tgz

How to install?
  1. Go to System > Magento Connect > Magento Connect Manager;
  2. Log in;
  3. Under Direct package file upload choose Browse / Choose file and find downloaded .tgz;
  4. Click Upload;
  5. Profit!

Please note that you have to uninstall all the previous versions first.
