Hi,

as i am not a great fan of these tools, i would like to point out some alternatives. Sequel Pro if you are using a mac or HeidiSQL on windows (with wine on mac and linux too) or multi platform MySQL Workbench.

These tools are available for free and offer all the functionality you need. You can use SSH connections to connect to remote hosts and you wont compromise your server (or dev machine) when there is a security issue.

I agree. There is most powerfull tools. I am not using Adminer on production. I like Adminer so much just because it's a single file with all resources I need.

And nothing wrong with it. I wanted to add a word of caution because i've seen these things in production myself. And it didn't end well. So if it works for you great ;) And i can totally relate to a configuration fatigue. The easier a tool is to use the better for us!
