Each time phpMyAdmin transmits a query, the MySQL server interprets it and provides feedback. The syntax of the query must follow MySQL rules, which are not the same as standard SQL. However, conforming to standard SQL ensures that our queries may be used on other SQL implementations.
A free external service, the Mimer SQL Validator, is offered. It validates our query according to Core SQL-99 rules and generates a report. The Validator is available directly from phpMyAdmin, and its home page is located at http://developer.mimer.com/validator/index.htm.
Note
This service stores anonymously on their server the queries it receives, for statistical purposes. When storing the queries, it replaces database, table, and columns names with generic names. Strings and numbers that are part of the query are replaced with generic values, so as to protect the original information.
