Met behulp van phpMSAdmin is het mogelijk om via een webinterface een Microsoft SQL Server te beheren; je zou kunnen zeggen dat dit programma de tegenhangen is van phpMyAdmin waarmee een MySQL-database beheerd kan worden. Adam Voight, de ontwikkelaar van phpMSAdmin, geeft aan dat zijn programma als vervanger gezien kan worden van SQL Enterprise Manager, de tool om een SQL Server-database te adminnen. Vandaag is in de vorm van 0.13 de nieuwste versie van phpMSAdmin verschenen en kan via deze pagina gedownload worden in zip- en tarball-bestand. De release notes van de nieuwbakken versie zien er als volgt uit:
This is primarily a maintenance release. It includes improved error handling functionality in the table select, modify and creation pages. Also added was the ability to rename columns. Some navigation was tweaked, including a link to insert rows from the table properties page. Also in this release is automatic search and replace to change the definitions of functions, procedures, and views when you switch to modify mode. This software is BETA quality, which means that none of the features have been extensively tested.This software has gone through preliminary testing however, and nothing APPEARS to cause any dataloss in the test databases. However, your results may vary, and should you discover a hole in the program, please email your results to the above email address with instructions on what you were doing, and how you produced the error. If you correct the problem through source modification, please send the file you updated and I will merge the bug fix into the main source tree. I suggest you check back often to the phpMSAdmin website (http://phpmsadmin.sf.net) to download new releases as they appear (which will be quite often during initial phases until all bugs and security fixes that are discovered, are merged in).
