Your one-stop solution for WordPress database management. Edit your table data with a clean and straightforward user interface.
SQL Buddy is a WordPress plugin that makes it easy to manage your database table contents right from your WordPress dashboard.
The Dashboard screen gives you a detailed overview of all your WordPress tables, along with useful data like the number of records, and the size of the table.
The Tables screen allows you to search for a specific table, or view the table rows. Clicking on a row presents options to edit and save the column values, or delete the row. You are also able to control which table columns to display, as well as options to filter the table data.
Each screen has pagination controls for navigating through a large number of tables or rows.

Why Use a Database Management Plugin?
While not common, there are often situations where you might need to make changes to your WordPress database. Perhaps you’ve moved from a staging environment to live, and you need to update your site URL, or you need to clean up some data left behind by a deleted plugin. Whatever the reason, a solid solution for browsing and editing your WordPress database is a vital tool in any site owner’s belt.
You could use the database management tool your web host provides, which is typically based on PHPMyAdmin, but the user interface is clumsy and not all that intuitive. You could try an application like Navicat, SQLyog, or TablePlus, but these require you to know your database access credentials.
SQL Buddy is the WordPress plugin that gives you the ability to manage your database directly from your WordPress dashboard, without needing to worry about database credentials, installing third-party applications, or navigating a confusing user interface.
