phpMyAdmin vs ProxySQL: What are the differences?

phpMyAdmin: A free software, for MySQL and MariaDB. As a portable web application written primarily in PHP, it has become one of the most popular MySQL administration tools, especially for web hosting services; ProxySQL: A High-performance, GPL licensed MySQL proxy. It has an advanced multi-core architecture. It's built from the ground up to support hundreds of thousands of concurrent connections, multiplexed to potentially hundreds of backend servers. It helps you squeeze the last drop of performance out of your MySQL cluster, without controlling the applications that generate the queries.

phpMyAdmin and ProxySQL can be primarily classified as "Database" tools.

Basharsoft, Rescue Digital, LLC, and Matzen Group IVS are some of the popular companies that use phpMyAdmin, whereas ProxySQL is used by 000webhost, Singular Group, and Bamboo Group. phpMyAdmin has a broader approval, being mentioned in 11 company stacks & 19 developers stacks; compared to ProxySQL, which is listed in 5 company stacks and 3 developer stacks.

MySQL WorkBench

phpMyAdmin

We were looking a tool that would allow us to do MySQL and PostgreSQL development/administration from a single tool. We decided on Navicat Premium because it can connect to MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQLite databases - and simultaneously. It's also compatible with Amazon RDS and Microsoft Azure, which we also use.

Moreover, we previously experienced the occasional freezing and crashing in MySQL Workbench. It also suffered from a poor design, with certain features being a bit difficult to find. Meanwhile, phpMyAdmin lacked schema visualization tools and seemed better suited to lightweight day to day transactions than some of the big jobs that we needed to do.
