AdminerEvo is a web-based database management interface, with a focus on security, user experience, performance, functionality and size.
It is available for download as a single self-contained PHP file, making it easy to deploy anywhere.
AdminerEvo works out of the box with MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MS SQL, Oracle, Elasticsearch and MongoDB. In addition, there are plugins for SimpleDB, Firebird and ClickHouse.
AdminerEvo is developed by the AdminerEvo community and is a continuation of the Adminer project by Jakub Vrána.
Rationale
Existing database management interfaces often come in the form of desktop clients, or as large web applications. They often only support a single DBMS.
Adminer aims to offer a familiar interface in a lightweight package, no matter the environment. The only requirement is a webserver configured to run a current version of PHP.
History
The project was started by Jakub Vrána as phpMinAdmin, with the aim of providing a light-weight alternative to phpMyAdmin. A 1.0.0 version was released on the 11th of July 2007.
Nearly two years later, Jakub renamed the project to Adminer, as its former name started as somewhat of a joke and caused confusion with the phpMyAdmin project.
Around the same time, Jakub had an article published in the php|architect August 2009 edition, which he made available on his blog (archive). The article goes into detail about his ideas for Adminer and how it was designed. Some of this is still relevant today.
A major announcement came the following year, with the release of 3.0.0. This release introduced support for multiple database drivers and already included SQLite, PostgreSQL, MS SQL and Oracle.
In 2016 the project's source code was moved from its home on SourceForge to GitHub. Bug reports and user forums, however, remained where they were.
Finally, in May of 2023, after a long period without released and with user contributions piling up without being merged, a group of individuals decided to join forces and revive the project as AdminerEvo.
