MyWebSQL is an open-source tool to manage data stored in MySQL or MariaDB. However, it is not only limited to them but is compatible with PostgreSQL and SQLite. Therefore, we are in the presence of an essential tool on the client-side.

Getting MyWebSQL on Ubuntu 20.04

MyWebSQL is a web application that allows us to have a friendly interface to manage MySQL / MariaDB. For this same reason is that it requires a functional web server on our computer.

So, the first step is to have LAMP installed correctly:

How to install LAMP on Ubuntu 20.04?

Also other modules and packages are needed, these are:

php libapache2-mod-php php-common php-mbstring php-gd php-intl php-curl php-xml php-mysql php-pgsql php-mysql php-bcmath unzip wget

Once it is completed it is necessary to create a new user for MariaDB / MySQL to avoid working with the root user.

So, access the console:

:~$ sudo mysql -u root -p

Once you’re on the console, create the new user:

> USE mysql;
> CREATE USER 'angelo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Angelo12.,';
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON . TO 'angelo'@'localhost';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Remember to change the username and password to whatever you prefer. Then, exit the console.

> exit;

The next step is to download MyWebSQL. To do this we will use the wget command.

:~$ cd /tmp/
:~$ wget -c https://sourceforge.net/projects/mywebsql/files/stable/mywebsql-3.7.zip/download -O mywebsql-3.7.zip

Then decompress it:

:~$ sudo unzip mywebsql-3.7.zip -d /var/www/html

Note: If you do not have the unzip command installed, just run it:

sudo apt install unzip

Already with MyWebSQL in the Apache root directory, the corresponding permissions must be assigned:

:~$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/mywebsql/
:~$ sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/mywebsql/

Now you can access it.

Accessing to MyWebSQL

Now we can enjoy MyWebSQL. So, open your favorite web browser like Firefox and go to http://your-server/mywebsql/install.php

When we see the next screen, we can conclude that everything is in order.

As everything is correct you can delete that file to avoid security breaches:

:~$ sudo rm /var/www/html/mywebsql/install.php

Now you can start the login process:

http://your-server/mywebsql/

Once you log in with the credentials of the newly created one, you can enjoy your instance.

Remember that in this type of application it is convenient not to use the root user.

So, now MyWebSQL is correctly installed and you can take full advantage of it.

Conclusion

Managing a lot of data in MySQL or MariaDB is not so easy to do in a terminal. So these tools are always welcome to help us with the task. Today, you have learned to install MyWebSQL on Ubuntu 20.04, and as you can see the process is quite simple.

So, share this post and join our Telegram Channel.

MyWebSQL is an open-source tool to manage data stored in MySQL or MariaDB. However, it is not only limited to them but is compatible with PostgreSQL and SQLite. Therefore, we are in the presence of an essential tool on the client-side.

So, let us install MyWebSQL on Debian 10.

Install MyWebSQL on Debian 10

1) Upgrade your system

The first step is, of course, to update the system. With this, we will be able to have the security patches correctly installed.

So open a terminal session and run the following:

:~$ sudo apt update
:~$ sudo apt upgrade

That way the system will be a little safer and we will be ready to go.

2) Install LAMP on Debian 10

MyWebSQL is a web application that needs a server to run. So you can deploy a LAMP server for it.

Read, How to install LAMP on Debian 10?

After everything is in place, we can continue.

3) Create a new user on MariaDB

When we use web tools to manage MySQL or MariaDB, it is best to create a new user. And to this new user, give permissions on the rest of the databases and tables.

So let’s go for it:

:~$ sudo mysql -u root -p
> USE mysql;
> CREATE USER 'angelo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Angelo12.,';
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON . TO 'angelo'@'localhost';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
> exit;

Now we can install MyWebSQL without problems.

4) Installing MyWebSQL on Debian 10

Unfortunately, there is no DEB package for Debian. However, the installation is quite simple. Just download the application files into the Apache folder.

First, download it:

:~$ wget https://newcontinuum.dl.sourceforge.net/project/mywebsql/stable/mywebsql-3.7.zip

Then, we proceed to decompress it in the root folder of Apache.

:~$ sudo unzip mywebsql-3.7.zip -d /var/www/html

In the end, we only need to grant the necessary permissions for the application to run correctly:

:~$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/mywebsql/
~$ sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/mywebsql/

That’s enough. Now let’s try it.

Now, open your favorite web browser and go to the following address http://your-server/mywebsql/install.php to verify that everything is in order.

As everything is in order, you can log in on http://your-server/mywebsql/ and delete the installation file.

:~$ sudo rm /var/www/html/mywebsql/install.php

Now, type in your MariaDB credentials. And you can start to work.

So, enjoy it.

As I mentioned at the beginning, managing data in a database that uses SQL in a terminal is not appropriate. In addition, insecure is impractical. So recently I showed you some graphical clients for Git, today I will do the same with SQL. This way you will be able to work more and better.

Let us start.

Graphical clients for SQL

1) MyWebSQL

I start with MyWebSQL. It is a web application to manage SQL databases. However, it places special emphasis on MySQL.

MyWebSQL is built with PHP so it requires a web server to function. Its graphical interface is great because it resembles a desktop application. It is well done and very well taken care of.

You can find much more information about MyWebSQL in our post about it or on their website.

2) DBeaver

DBeaver is a very powerful graphical SQL client. It is an open source desktop application that stands out for its simplicity and power. It supports many SQL database managers such as DBeaver, SQLite or PostgreSQL. That’s why many developers trust their work with SQL to DBeaver.

On the other hand, it requires Java to work so maybe those who have modest hardware will not like the idea.

We have also talked about DBeaver on our site so we invite you to stop by this post to learn how to install it.

3) PHPMyAdmin

If we have to talk about a very popular SQL tool in the educational field, that is PHPMyAdmin. It is a very popular and simple web interface for SQL language that contains everything you need to manage databases and SQL statements.

Being a web interface, it requires a web server, with all the advantages and disadvantages of the case. Ideal when you have a shared development of some application or centralized data.

Of course, PHPMyAdmin is available for Linux in a very simple way and is open source. So, you can install it on CentOS.

4) PGAdmin

If there is an SQL client specialized in PostgreSQL that is pgAdmin. This powerful PostgreSQL client is a work of art. Its interface is the best in all of Linux because it is simple and very flexible.

PgAdmin is open source and is available for all Linux through a web server and Python.

Conclusion

Here are some of the most popular graphical SQL clients on Linux. Their use makes it much easier to manage the data in our SQL database. So it only remains for you to try and tell us your experience.
