Browsing the Drupal database

Moshe on browsing the database at the Boston

He uses the Mac program SequelPro (completely free and open source). http://www.sequelpro.com/

PHPmyadmin: http://www.phpmyadmin.net

Find $db_url in settings.php

username, password, host, and database name.

Can put this data into Sequel Pro.

Bottom line: as long as you have a backup, do not be afraid to fiddle with your database!
