I’ve tried using phpMyAdmin, but in the end found console is much easier and faster. If you know mySQL I suggest using console, it means you can write your code whether you have internet access at the time or not. If you don’t know mySQL well it isn’t that difficult to learn, I learnt in a few days, it’s relatively simple compared to most other programming operations. Once you learn it, it is well worth it. After which you can even write on paper what you wish to implement if you are stuck somewhere waiting. Sometimes back to the basics is just easier.
