Database administration tools other than PHPMyAdmin

DBeaver interface

PHPMyAdmin
is a popular database administration tool among Koha users. For beginners, the installation of PHPMyAdmin is complicated. A database administration tool is beneficial for Koha users and administrators to import and export data in a particular context. 

If you feel difficult to install PHPMyAdmin, we can try alternatives like DBeaver and Beekeeper Studio. Several other database administration tools are also available. The convenience of the Dbeaver and Beekeeper Studio is the ease of installation. Installation is easy; either use apt or Snap store. Both software has a simple interface and is easy to log in and manage databases. Certain features are missing with Beekeeper Studio (e.g., import from CSV), and I hope that those features will add soon. 

The home page of DBeaver is https://dbeaver.io Here is the command to install DBeaver using Snaps, 

sudo snap install dbeaver-ce 

The home page of Beekeeper Studio is https://www.beekeeperstudio.io Here is the command to install Beekeeper Studio, 

sudo snap install beekeeper-studio 

The main highlight of the tools mentioned above is that the Snaps packages (https://snapcraft.io) are available and it makes the installation easy.
