The left frame displays the names of the databases available to you.
The right frame welcomes you to phpMyAdmin, which is the name of the administrative tool you are now
using to manage your MySQL database.
The link Show MySQL runtime information displays the following table of statistics about your database.
The Log Out link logs you out of the MySQL option.
The phpMyAdmin-Homepage link opens the phpMyAdmin homepage, an excellent resource of information
related to the use of phpMyAdmin application.
