But, once I log into the Adminer panel you only get to see the current database in use. Versus like phpmyadmin where you see ALL of your databases on your system.
I also noticed that it creates and names your new database “local”…
1) Is there a way to name your database inside Local, on each WP install?
2) And is it possible to see more than 1 database at a time?
Not at this time, but if it’s something you need feel free to write up a request in Feature requests and we’ll look into it!
Not in Adminer by default.
Your best bet is to use something like Sequel Pro and set up bookmarks/favorites to individual sites. If you’re on Windows, MySQL Workbench and HeidiSQL are two great alternatives to Sequel Pro.
I was hoping that wouldn’t be the case… I was starting to contemplate switching from MAMP… But not having a singular visibility of DBs and the ability to name them before install is a deal breaker, unfortunately.
No worries, it’s staying in my doc for now and I may try it out again at a later time.
The reason is one in the same, I want to be able to name the database so I can distinguish them in adminer/phpmyadmin.
I don’t really want to download another software in order to manage databases when my current build is already barebones as is: mamp, codekit, vscode.
If Local could match the browser refresh feature and allow a singular database management tool like phpmyadmin and include all the standard WP setup options, that would cut 2 tools out.
But currently I still need to run codekit alongside Local to get the browser refresh ability.
I’m not knocking the software, I love what Local is and what it does. Thank you for taking the time to ask and respond. I appreciate your help.
