When you go to the MySQL Management Tab, you will need to login and select the database you want to use

After you login, you are presented with the list of available databases, and you can select the one you want to work with

![](https://516424436-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LD6Mk5l3GSpkGtsZK7g%2F-LD6My6DMDZ3mvRJl3ze%2F-LD6N3CLRNQRH9vkC0S-%2Fimg000051.png?generation=1526984624394032\&alt=media)

After you select the Database, you can see the tables and select one (or several, if you want to do "bulk" operations)

![](https://516424436-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LD6Mk5l3GSpkGtsZK7g%2F-LD6My6DMDZ3mvRJl3ze%2F-LD6N3CN2gz3-B0sz2ZR%2Fimg000052.png?generation=1526984624431372\&alt=media)

You can view the data stored in the table

You can also view the structure of the table

## **MySQL Editor**

![](https://516424436-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LD6Mk5l3GSpkGtsZK7g%2F-LD6My6DMDZ3mvRJl3ze%2F-LD6N3CRAALa2x3HO8Z_%2Fimg000054.png?generation=1526984624471133\&alt=media)

In the **MySQL Editor**, you can also select database and the table

![](https://516424436-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LD6Mk5l3GSpkGtsZK7g%2F-LD6My6DMDZ3mvRJl3ze%2F-LD6N3CTho2uP39JepOZ%2Fimg000055.png?generation=1526984624456483\&alt=media)

You can select and edit individual records.

![](https://516424436-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LD6Mk5l3GSpkGtsZK7g%2F-LD6My6DMDZ3mvRJl3ze%2F-LD6N3CVitHXu2tlng4y%2Fimg000056.png?generation=1526984624396180\&alt=media)

Sometimes this might be faster that doing it using the edit forms provided by individual modules

## **BigDump**
