<p>DBC Backup 2 can give you the confidence that your WordPress database is backed-up and securely stored on your server.</p>
<p>You select when and where your backup will be generated. The backup file is saved to directory on your web server which for many people is free storage and more reliable then saving to your home computer.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Secure – The file name includes some random characters which makes it impossible for someone to guess the backup name and download it.</li>
<li>Safe – the backup directory is protected with a .htaccess and an empty index.html file which means no-one can browse or download the file via the web</li>
<li>Storage – If your server has supports it, you can select between three different compression formats: none, Gzip and Bzip2. </li>
<li>Schedule – you can set hourly, daily, weekly or monthly backup</li>
<li>Manual backup – anytime you want to save a backup before updating WordPress or installing a plugin you can.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Additional Info</h4>
<p>The plugin will try to auto create the export directory.</p>
<p>This plugin creates it’s own sql file and does not use mysqldump like most other plugins.</p>
<p>During backup, a log is created that includes, the generation date, file, filesize, status and the duration of the generation.</p>
<p>The backup files are identical to what phpmyadmin would produce because DBC Backup is using the key procedures of phpmyadmin.</p>
<p>DBC Backup was built to be fast, flexible and as simple as possible.</p>

<p>This software is still free to use under the license provided, but users should be aware that it is not currently maintained. No additional releases, including security releases, will be made available.</p>
<p>Your one-stop solution for WordPress database management. Edit your table data with a clean and straightforward user interface.</p>
<p>SQL Buddy is a WordPress plugin that makes it easy to manage your database table contents right from your WordPress dashboard.</p>
<p>The Dashboard screen gives you a detailed overview of all your WordPress tables, along with useful data like the number of records, and the size of the table.</p>
<p>The Tables screen allows you to search for a specific table, or view the table rows. Clicking on a row presents options to edit and save the column values, or delete the row. You are also able to control which table columns to display, as well as options to filter the table data.</p>
<p>Each screen has pagination controls for navigating through a large number of tables or rows.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>View a list of all your database tables, including details like number of records, data usage, and index usage per table.</li>
<li>Navigate through table records quickly, or search for specific tables by name.</li>
<li>Filter table records using custom query conditions</li>
<li>Choose which table columns to display on a per-table basis</li>
<li>View the full contents of a single table record with one click.</li>
<li>Easily edit the record contents or delete a table record</li>
</ul>
<h3>Why Use a Database Management Plugin?</h3>
<p>While not common, there are often situations where you might need to make changes to your WordPress database. Perhaps you’ve moved from a staging environment to live, and you need to update your site URL, or you need to clean up some data left behind by a deleted plugin. Whatever the reason, a solid solution for browsing and editing your WordPress database is a vital tool in any site owner’s belt.</p>
<p>You could use the database management tool your web host provides, which is typically based on PHPMyAdmin, but the user interface is clumsy and not all that intuitive. You could try an application like Navicat, SQLyog, or TablePlus, but these require you to know your database access credentials.</p>
<p>SQL Buddy is the WordPress plugin that gives you the ability to manage your database directly from your WordPress dashboard, without needing to worry about database credentials, installing third-party applications, or navigating a confusing user interface.</p>

SQL Buddy – Database Management Made Easy

I've used a couple of manage-your-database-inside-the-WordPress-dashboard type plugins before. They're really handy for things like changing the admin email when the previous admin has long since disappeared and you can't confirm the email address for the change. Delighted to see this plugin from the Delicious Brains team - they're plugins are superb, reliable, and trustworthy - exactly what you want when you need a plugin to modify your database. The plugin is simple and really easy to use. No nonsense. Will add this plugin to my favourites.

Easy to use plugin by a trusted developer

This is an excellent plugin if you need quick access to the database to make small changes when developing your WordPress site. The UI is snappy and very easy to use. Normally I'd be concerned with security with a plugin like this, but I can't think of a team I trust more than Delicious Brains to build a secure and easy-to-use database plugin for WordPress. They know their stuff.

Easy, fast, reliable

Very nice!

Awesome!

This plugin performs a crucial service missing from WordPress itself: the ability to visualize the database, and make changes. 

I can't stress enough that this plugin is not for folks who have are beginners or otherwise not familiar with WordPess databases, but for those who are, this plugin can shave hours off of troubleshooting problems by letting you see directly into the data. 

Simple and powerful


This is a very nice and easy to use tool that I install on my local dev sites. Especially useful when using Docker or similar because I can't keep track of all exposed MariaDB-ports...


So convinient

Essential plugin for developers
