Is there a way to view database information via a web application. Since I don't want to install mysql client on my machine.
Via a web application, you can install phpMyAdmin.
Otherwise, if you can install something on your machine there are tools that work for any DB, like DbVisualizer or the MySQL specific MySQL Query Browser part of MySQL GUI Tools.

My company has two web based project. Our main project (Starbooks) was built using xampp server and Codeigniter framework that installed in our Windows OS and the second project (Frontlearners) was built in Lamp server and moodle (LMS) framework with Postgres database that installed in ubuntu platform.
My goal is to collide this two projects into one by moving the second project (Frontlearners) into the main project (Starbooks) server which uses with xampp server windows platform.
My first attempt is to export the moodle Postgres database using PGAdmin then move the moodle project to the main project server on windows. But I don't know if this is the correct way or not because Postgres and mysql are different database type. I've searching across the internet hoping for the answer or tutorial related to my problem but the results are always fresh installation of moodle which is not related to my problem.
Anybody knows how to solve this problem, a tutorial link, or any article about this situation?
There is a database transfer tool in Moodle.
https://docs.moodle.org/311/en/Database_transfer
So you can convert the PostgreSQL database to MariaDB
First ensure MariaDB is installed on Ubuntu
Turn off cron and put the site in maintenance mode
Then go to Site administration > Development > Experimental > Database migration to convert the database.
Or direct to /admin/tool/dbtransfer/index.php
The tool will check the database structure matches the structures in the install.xml files. If there are any differences, then you will need to update the relevant install.xml file or database table before continuing.
If its a large database, then the UI will probably time out. So use the command line version instead:
php admin/tool/dbtransfer/cli/migrate.php --help
Having said all that, IMHO I would transfer the Windows project to Linux.
I need to use standard mysql, in plesk it says everywhere that it is mysql but when I login to console it says mariadb.
I understand that it is very similar but this plesk will be hosting staging systems so they must use exactly the technology that the product servers use.
Is it possible to do it somehow using the web interface or do I have to manually install it from console?
As I see it's impossible because plesk-mysql-server package has explicit dependency for mariadb-server.
Yes, you can solve this with --force, but it means further troubles with plesk updates and upgrades.
If you need DB server for some application you can install it on separate server and register it as remote DB server in Tool&Settings > Database Servers.
I have been using MySQL for years and have decided that for a new project I'd like to use something newer liker Volt DB.
I have read all the documentation on the Volt DB website and although it mentions a web client for viewing the structure it doesn't say if there is a way of viewing data live in the database.
Hoping for a web based client like phpMyAdmin or maybe a desktop client like Navicat (Windows) / Sequal (OSX).
VoltDB includes a web interface called Web Studio on port 8080 by default, that provides a SQL interface with tabular result formatting. You could use this to select, insert, update, or delete records through SQL statements or by calling stored procedures.
You can also connect to VoltDB using desktop tools that can connect using the JDBC driver, such as SQuirreL. We are working on an ODBC driver in the next few months that will enable a wider choice of desktop tools to connect.
I am trying to design a database application for my small business. I've created a number of form driven MS Access databases for use before but would like to create a permanent solution in something more advanced & common.
I was thinking of using mySQL for the database and would then program a C# or VB application to be used in Windows. I do not want or need a web based version at this time but the migration to VB.net in the far future may be something I'll look into.
I know I can use a MS Access backend for my windows application without having to install MS Office on any or all the computers the program will be run for.
But here is my question. Is it necessary to install mySQL Server on the PC hosting the database, on all the PCs accessing the database or can I just use the database file as the backend and Visual Studio will have all the necessary tools I need to access it?
If I have to install the server I may just stick with the MS Access database as the needs for an excessive amount of database storage won't ever be an issue.
You'd need to install MySQL server on the Server hosting the database. The clients would then connect via the network. You will however need a driver to access the MySQL-Server with VB.NET on the client machines. A simple DLL-File might be enough, though.
If you are looking for a file-based database solution have a look at SQLite. But you will have to watch out for concurrency issues here.
I am connection to a LAMP Server trough PuTTY.
I have no idea if there is a GUI available so I'm doing this trough the CLI. The problem now is that I need certain fields from the database and I have no idea how the database looks since the lack of documentation.
How should I approach this. In the database there are 148 tables. Should I just go trough every table one at a time? Is there a smart way?
Thanks.
You could always install PHPMyAdmin, but if you don't have access to do so, you can try MySQL Workbench. This installs on your computer, and you just put in your server info and connect
There's plenty of GUI tools available for MySQL, some that you normally install on the server and others that you run on your desktop, here's a short list:
MySQL Workbench - Official mysql gui tool with really nice features (especially coming to db design)
PHPMyAdmin - web based interface, can be installed on the server and reached through a web interface.
HeidiSQL (free, windows) - desktop app
SQLYog (lot's of features, costs money) - desktop app
Sequel Pro (free, slim and good for macosx) - desktop app
You can also use the mysql-query browser for connect database.
