Instead of DbNinja
DbNinja alternatives
DbNinja is a browser-based workspace for administering and developing MySQL databases, including remote connections to hosted servers. It covers database objects and privileges, saved queries, exports, backups and restores, plus comparison and synchronization between hosts. Its free personal-use plan and tabbed access to multiple hosts suit individuals who want MySQL management in one web interface.

A switch may make sense if you need another database engine or broader operations than DbNinja provides. It supports MySQL only and requires a PHP-enabled web server with PHP 5.3 or higher and mysqli, as well as a recent major browser with cookies enabled. Commercial use requires a quote. The alternatives range from lightweight browser tools to platforms for provisioning and operating database clusters. Compare engine support, deployment requirements, the specific administration or automation tasks you need, and any recurring price before choosing.
