How to Import a SQL file to my Database in SWPanel with DBeaver

With SWPanel you can use the phpMyAdmin tool to access the management of your databases, such as exporting or importing them.

Also, you can use any kind of database management application, such as DBeaver, which allows a much more powerful database management than phpMyAdmin, and is available for any operating system and supports many database managers, such as MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLServer, Oracle, SQL Server.

DBeaver is a SQL client software application and database administration tool.

If you want to install the DBeaver database manager on your private Cloud server with Windows 10 Pro, you can have it at your disposal with a single click at SWHosting.
