Database Administration

From: Tom Barrett on 21 Sep 2010 05:48 Hi I need to build a custom client management app, which will build and manage a database per client. This means that on top of the usual sql crud, it needs to be able to create databases, add/edit/delete database users, create tables. Is there a way for me to do this nicely as PHP solution? am I better off incorporating non PHP pieces into this (e.g. shell)? or should I leave the admin tasks (e.g. database creation) as a 'normal' administrative task (commandline/webmin/watever)?

You just need to make sure access to the tool is done right (i.e. a user that can create/destroy databases needs to be aware of this and you need to restrict the access to those specific persons).

Google phpmyadmin I believe it is completely written in PHP and does complete database administration (has some weaknesses on stored procedures though in my view) Jangita | +254 76 918383 | MSN & Y!: jangita(a)yahoo.com Skype: jangita | GTalk: jangita.nyagudi(a)gmail.com -----Original Message----- From: Tom Barrett [mailto:tom(a)miramedia.co.uk] Sent: 21 September 2010 11:48 AM To: PHP General List Subject: [PHP] Database Administration Hi I need to build a custom client management app, which will build and manage a database per client.

I'm not sure as to what you need, but for me I do all my database creation in phpMyAdmin. From there I populate with php. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com/ |
