# Overview
> Browse tables, run SQL, import or export dumps, and repair tables. All the everyday phpMyAdmin tasks.
phpMyAdmin is the web-based MySQL client included with every cPanel hosting account. It's how you'd browse data, run queries, take backups, and fix table corruption without ever opening a terminal.
Open it from cPanel home → **Databases** → **phpMyAdmin**. cPanel logs you in automatically as your account user, no extra password.
## What's covered
Navigate the database tree, open a table, page through rows, and edit cells inline.
Restore a `.sql` or `.sql.gz` file. Includes the workaround for files larger than the upload limit.
Quick vs custom mode, format options, compression.
The SQL tab, query history, and bookmarks.
Repair, optimize, rename, change collation, truncate, drop.
## What you can't do
phpMyAdmin on shared hosting hides the things that need server-wide privileges:
* No access to the `mysql` system database (no editing global users or grants)
* No `Variables` or `Status` server-config pages
* No `Privileges` tab at the top level (use [Manage My Databases](/web-hosting/cpanel/database-management/manage-databases) for that)
You're sandboxed to your own databases. That's a feature, not a limitation.
## Tips that save time
* The left tree filters as you type. Click into the search box above it and start typing a table name to jump straight to it.
* Every action you take through the UI prints the equivalent SQL above the result. Copy it into a script when you want to repeat the operation.
* The **Bookmarks** feature on the SQL tab keeps recent queries around. Useful for repeated cleanup tasks.
## Need a hand?
Best for anything that needs an account check or a config change on our end.
