Navigation and main panels
phpMyAdmin. The
navigation
panel
is our guide through the databases and tables.
The
main
panel
is the working area where the data is managed and results appear. Its
exact layout depends on the choices made from the navigation panel and the sequence
of operations performed. For the majority of languages (which are written from left to
right) the navigation panel is located on the left side and the main panel is on the right,
but for right-to-left languages such as Hebrew, these panels are reversed.
Home page
The main panel can take the form of the home page. The home page will then
contain various links related to MySQL operations or phpMyAdmin information, a
Language
selector, and possibly the
Theme
/
Style
selector.
Views
In the main panel, we can see the
Database
view—where we can take various
actions about a specific database, or the
Table
view—where we can access many
functions to manage a table. There is also a
Server
view, useful for both system
administrator and non-administrator users. All these views have a top menu, which
takes the form of tabs that lead to different pages used to present information
regrouped by common functions (table structure, privileges, and so on).
Query window
This is a distinct window that is usually opened from the navigation panel—and
sometimes from the main panel when editing an SQL query. Its main purpose is to
facilitate work on queries and display the results on the main panel.
