# How do I access phpMyAdmin in cPanel?

phpMyAdmin is a visual tool for managing your MySQL databases, letting you browse tables, run queries, and import or export data. This guide explains how to reach and use it in cPanel.

## Opening phpMyAdmin

1. Log in to cPanel.
2. In the **Databases** section, click **phpMyAdmin**.
3. Your databases appear in the left panel.

## Finding your way around

- **Left panel:** lists databases and tables.
- **Structure:** shows tables and columns.
- **Browse:** view and edit rows.
- **SQL:** run queries directly.

## Exporting (backup)

1. Select the database.
2. Click **Export**, choose Quick and SQL.
3. Click **Go** to download the .sql file.

## Importing

1. Select the target database.
2. Click **Import**, choose your .sql file, and click Go.

## Safety tips

- Always export a copy before making changes.
- Confirm which database you are editing.
- Avoid dropping tables unless certain.

## Troubleshooting

- **Import too large:** compress the file or split it.
- **Site errors after edits:** restore your exported copy.
