# phpMyAdmin

> How to access phpMyAdmin in cPanel to browse, query, and manage your MySQL databases.

phpMyAdmin is a web-based tool for working with MySQL databases. It's built into cPanel and lets you browse tables, run SQL queries, and manage database users without using the command line.

## Open phpMyAdmin

Log in to cPanel through your [client area](https://my.speedypage.com) or at `yourdomain.com/cpanel`. Go to **Databases** and click **phpMyAdmin**.

cPanel logs you in automatically. You'll see your databases listed in the left sidebar. Click a database name to view its tables.

## What you can do

For step-by-step instructions on importing and exporting, see [Import and export MySQL databases](/web-hosting/database-import-export).

<Warning>
  phpMyAdmin gives you direct access to your database. Deleting tables or running destructive queries cannot be undone unless you have a backup. If you're unsure about a change, [export a backup](/web-hosting/database-import-export) first.
</Warning>

<Note>
  If you haven't created a database yet, phpMyAdmin won't show anything useful. Create one first through the [Database Wizard](/web-hosting/create-database) in cPanel.
