"to avoid php installation on server" Personally - I don't think PHP on the server is any issue, but PHPMyAdmin is a dreadful app to put on a live box (no problems with development machines). It's got lots of vulnerabilities, and the script-kiddies all ping away looking for its standard installation locations. If you *have* to use it, at least put it somewhere obscure *and* use some extra layer of protection (through htpasswd or similar). Depending on your local platform, there are lots of stand-alone MySQL admin tools which will all connect to the server (assuming your firewall, and DB permissions allow) which are a better bet for DB management IMHO. If you're just after data management (rather than DB management - shouldn't that be done by migrations.... ;-) there are lots of ruby plug-in "admin interfaces" which give CRUD functionality: http://ruby-toolbox.com/categories/rails_admin_interfaces.html M -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
