I couldnt agree more, setting up Bike on every other server gives you the same maintenance headache(perhaps a little simpler) as having a version of phpMyAdmin on each.

I just yesterday wrote a blogpost about tunneling mysql and using a locally hosted phpMyAdmin for those needs. That will give you the benefit of having phpMyAdmin at one place and you'll be motivated to keep that updated and properly configured. http://text.krona.tm/post/25982176151/using-phpmyadmin-witho...

A bit of topic, but wasn't tm the expensive tld which you need to register for 10 years? When no can you tell me where you registered yours?

Yeah, it is, but I have a long commitment to my last name. :)

Sounds plausible. I had also a lot of luck with a .ch domain, which fits my lastname ;)

It looks like Bike is a simple query interface whereas phpMyAdmin is a whole suite of tools akin to the desktop Workbench for mysql (at least, the administrative side).

It's not, if you look at the github page they make no such claims and actually say it's a small tool. whomever made this post is the one saying it's an alternative.
