Which software is more preferred MySQL or PHPMyAdmin?

Answer 1

The simple answer is, you can use both..
The MySQL is a SQL server. It runs in computer (net) server and accepts SQL commands from net clients , to execute them above connected databases. (Include commands to create or modify databases).
And there are two way how clients can sends these SQL command to MYSQL server .The first way, is use special database manager program, where a man writes (or selects in GUI) SQL commands to execute in database. This is tiring. So mainly for administration purposes. One of such programs is the PHPMyAdmin, but exist more others
But there is a second way to send SQL commands to MYSQL server. These comamnds can by in programming code. In PHP (usually, when it is a internet application), of in C#, or Python, and so on..It works repeatly automatic as the part of program. Send a SQL command to MySQL server, retrieve a data back, displays them in the form. Or oppositely, send a data from user input to save in MYSQL database..amd so on..
