In their own words
DbNinja
DbNinja is a web application for administering and developing MySQL databases, including databases on remote hosted servers. It can manage database objects such as tables, events, indexes, triggers, procedures, views, users, and privileges. For maintenance, it backs up and restores database structure and data, and compares or synchronizes databases between hosts. Exports are available in CSV, SQL, Excel, and JSON formats. Query tools include syntax highlighting, saved favorite queries, and limits on fetched data and query execution time. You can connect to multiple hosts at once and work in tabs.
DbNinja is self-hosted: setup involves copying its package into a directory in your webroot and completing setup in a browser. It requires a PHP-enabled web server, PHP 5.3 or higher with mysqli, MySQL 4.1 or higher, and a recent major browser with cookies enabled. The Personal use plan is free and is for user-installed use from one computer at a time. Commercial licensing is available by quote.
