What is Chive?

Chive is a next generation MySQL database management tool. The web-based user interface supports most of the common operations needed by software developers and database admins (databases, tables, indices, keys, triggers, views, routines, privileges management, import/export).

Chive aims to be an alternative to phpMyAdmin.

Rich User interface
Chive is web-based and takes advantage of the capabilities of modern web browsers. See the screenshots for impressions.
Latest technologies
Based on top of the current version of the Yii framework, Chive takes advantage of the MVC design pattern and unit testing.
Security
Direct database authentication avoids classical security gaps. No root or maintainer password has to be provided.
Runs out of the box
Only minimal configuration has to be done, no database needed. Just download, extract and run as described on the download page.
Open Source
Chive is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License v3. Feel free to use and/or modify it.
