Anyone who had the chance to use MySQL had either used the administration web-interface phpMyAdmin or had at least heard of it. While being really useful in some situations, phpMyAdmin remains rather slow and heavy application to work with. And working with it over a slower line could be a PITA.

We have alternatives: CIMyAdmin and phpMinAdmin

CIMyAdmin has been created by the authors of CodeIgniter PHP web framework. They used CI as a starting ground. CI is being considered as one of the lighter web frameworks and indeed CIMyAdmin is considerably faster than phpMyAdmin.

phpMinAdmin is even smaller. In fact it's a single PHP file. This could be really useful for remote administration. When your connection is slow and ssh access is something the sysadmin on the other end is keeping away from you.
