DbVisualizer vs PHPMyAdmin

This is a good and stable tool with really good and useful functionality: import/export, SSH tunnelling, fast searching, duplication, DDL visualization etc. If you are a professional, don't complain about the pricing. If you're an amateur, maybe this isn't for you.

Makes it really easy to stub out example data while developing, just change the values with unique constraints and you have extra data ready to go.

Has a search box that will highlight any matching row, regardless of what field is matched (spans multiple columns).

Allows you to edit and save db rows through a spread-sheet like editor.

Editions can be performed over a result table just by clicking the desired field.

Because of its portability, popularity and robustness phpMyAdmin is included in most hosting services that support the LAMP stack.

The installation process itself is very simple, you need to have PHP and MySQL installed on your server, extract the files to a specified directory and run the install script. If you get stuck somewhere there's a lot of help online. The official wiki is very good too as far as the installation goes.

phpMyAdmin is complete as far as features and functionality go. You can even build a full website without knowing any MySQL.

phpMyAdmin can run in a web browser, this makes it a very portable tool because it can be run on any computer and on any OS as long as it has a web browser installed.
