Another very similar tool, phpPgAdmin, provides similar functionality for PostgreSQL. It originally started as a fork
of phpMyAdmin, but is now a completely different code base.
There are tools for managing Microsoft SQL Server such as phpMSAdmin or myLittleAdmin. Though they borrow
design principles from phpMyAdmin, they were written entirely from scratch and include no code from
phpMyAdmin.
There is a similar lightweight tool for managing MySQL databases called Adminer (previously phpMinAdmin),
which has all the most important features of phpMyAdmin, but consists of only one PHP file. [6]
