Ecto Postgres GUI

Questions / Help

Hello everyone,

I am looking to add something like PHPMyAdmin to view the data in my Postgres database (and modify it but not necessary). I just want to see my tables and my rows.

Is there any current go-to tool to do this for Phoenix? I installed the extension for Ecto for the live_dashboard, but it doesn’t seem I can view the data (only the table size).

The best would be to do like the dashboard : add a route like /dev/db or something like this that would show me an interface like PHPMyAdmin. Is there something like this? I found Kafky (but it seems to be more of a full-fledged admin panel) and ex_admin (but demo are down so I am not really sure it is the tool I need).

Thanks by advance for your help.

What this have to do with phoenix or ecto? PHPMyAdmin is a standalone tool that has nothing to do with the actual server/database you are running.

If you want your solution to be hosted on a server (as opposed making a connection to remote database ), then you can try pgAdmin.

You may be interested in LiveAdmin (which uses your ecto schemas rather than just the DB)

Sorry for the late reply. It seems like this could work :+1: I will take a look at it and try to use it. Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

IMO a good GUI for postgres is https://dbeaver.io/ :person_shrugging:

I like pgweb.

It runs in browser, and thus can be run beside your postgres instance if you want!

Installation is easy: brew install pgweb

Starting it is easy as well: pgweb --url "postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/database_name" --listen 8000
