Introduction
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
phpMyAdmin can manage a whole MySQL server (needs a super-user) as
|
||
|
|
well as a single database. To accomplish the latter you'll need a
|
||
|
|
properly set up MySQL user who can read/write only the desired
|
||
|
|
database. It's up to you to look up the appropriate part in the MySQL
|
||
|
|
manual.

A word about users
|
||
|
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Many people have difficulty understanding the concept of user
|
||
|
|
management with regards to phpMyAdmin. When a user logs in to
|
||
|
|
phpMyAdmin, that username and password are passed directly to MySQL.
|
||
|
|
phpMyAdmin does no account management on its own (other than allowing
|
||
|
|
one to manipulate the MySQL user account information); all users must
|
||
|
|
be valid MySQL users.

||

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
phpMyAdmin can compress (:term:`Zip`, :term:`GZip` or :term:`RFC 1952`
|
||
|
|
formats) dumps and :term:`CSV` exports if you use PHP with
|
||
|
|
:term:`Zlib` support (``--with-zlib``).
|
||
|
|
Proper support may also need changes in :file:`php.ini`.
