# What is phpMyAdmin?

## The phpMyAdmin SQL management software

phpMyAdmin is a free software used to manage [MySQL](https://help.ex2.com/en/article/what-is-mysql-1keq6x7/?bust=1784567363131) and MariaDB database administration. It is accessible online and offers a user-friendly way to work with [SQL](https://help.ex2.com/en/article/what-is-the-sql-language-r7oy2w/?bust=1784567386910).

phpMyAdmin allows users to easily manage SQL databases. This includes tables, columns, users, permissions, indexes, relationships, and more. 

It offers a user interface to work with SQL rather than having to use code. The task is therefore simpler and less tedious. phpMyAdmin is installed by default in your Ex2 [cPanel control panel](https://help.ex2.com/en/article/what-is-cpanel-vq3toz/?bust=1784567245637). 

If you want to understand how to use the software, we invite you to consult our other tutorials.

A considerable amount of tutorials is also available on the phpMyAdmin website.
