Excellent plugin

I don’t use a plugin like this every day. But when you need direct and easy access to your WordPress database… it’s the best! The user-interface is good and logical, and searches are really fast.

A decent database tool inside WordPress

Very handy! I’ve never been a fan of the phpMyAdmin provided by my hosting. Adminer with this integration is so much cleaner. The quick links to common tables are a great touch, saves me clicks every
