I finally found some time to quickly look and try to use TurboDbAdmin. It's sort of competitor to phpMyAdmin. Why I write sort of? Firstly there are still users which prefer non javascript solution, second reason is that TurboDbAdmin definitely needs some time to get matured. Right now it looks to me more like demo of their AJAX toolkit than real application. But it is getting better version to version.
However they have some ideas which we might incorporate. First think I
noticed in documentation is that they have settings for broken setups
of MySQL which lead to wrong displaying of data. Just put
names="latin1"
and it should work. Nice, but I still think that
people should rather learn how to use encodings in MySQL properly.
Second usefull thing is reload link in left frame. Well they aren't able to reload it automatically, so they need it right now, but that simple link is requested by our users anyway.
