With DabbleDB you can update and maintain, restructure and edit, create and customize your own database and forms. Import your data from Excel, CSV, or any other major delimiting method into DabbleDB and your data is ready to go!

A neat feature I found very useful was the ability to create your own web forms. This allows you to create custom forms that are immediately added to your database and are ready for you to analyze and export into beautiful reports.

A commons account is free, so you’ve got nothing to lose by giving it a shot. The pricing starts at $10.00/month for private data storage, and allows for multiple users to access your data if you wish.

In the end, DabbleDB would be great for any political, small-medium size business, or perhaps even survey and marketing firm to keep, track, maintain, and export data.

The first thing you’ll notice about SQL Buddy is its interface. You can expand/collapse the databases on the left, making it remarkably simple to navigate through and view which database, tables, or fields you want.

Since it is powered by Ajax, you don’t have to wait for whole page loads when you’re trying to simply add an entry to a table. Though it is powered by Ajax, it is browser friendly so you can bookmark and go “back”. Import and Export is standard, as is a great set of keyword shortcuts to help you manage, edit, and select single or multiple fields at a time.

Version 1.2.7 (to be released very soon) will allow you to chose between different templates, along with some minor bug fixes. I highly recommend this application as an alternative to phpMyAdmin for running on your localhosts. If you’re going to be using this on another web host, I would recommend creating a new user with full privileges and password protecting the directory using .htaccess.

The amount of time needed to learn how to use SQL Buddy is basically zero, so what have you got to lose?
