Is there a “phpmyadmin” for Ruby on Rails? [closed]

Answer 1

finally, I hope, I can help you. This is my last project, because it was something what I missed for longer time.

https://github.com/robinbortlik/db_explorer

It is called DB explorer, it is application like phpMyAdmin, but written in Ruby on Rails. It is not exactly like, phpMyAdmin, because it not allow you so many configuration options. It is simple solution for browsing your DB, searching and editing data. You can connect many databases and different types like MySQL, PostgeSQL and Sqlite3.

Lets, try it, and let me know if there is something wrong, or something what would be great to have implemented.

Here are some screenshots

Answer 2

I don't know any equivalent of phpmyadmin in RoR but if you just want to consult the database used by a RoR application, you could still use phpmyadmin. It doesn't matter, the database is accessed by a RoR application.

Answer 3

i absolutely agree with @thoferon about the fact that you don't have to matter about the Rails or PHP platform you work with. One solution that won't impact any of your websites, won't require any installation and configuration on a web server, is the usage of a MySQL client software on your local computer.

I don't know what OS do you have, but there are several MySQL clients for every OS. Three links I've found on Google :

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9185/what-is-the-best-mysql-client-application-for-windows
• The Best List Of Top MySQL Tools For Mac Users
• What is the best free SQL GUI for Linux for various DBMS systems

Answer 4

Check out rails_admin - Not a full-featured DB admin tool, but great for basic browsing and editing

Answer 5

Active Admin, much better than phpmyadmin:
