We offer database access to your site through the popular open-source phpMyAdmin software and programmatically. This provides you with direct MySQL access to your site.

## Accessing your Database via phpMyAdmin

To open phpMyAdmin first visit the MyPressable Control Panel at [my.pressable-staging.mystagingwebsite.com](https://my.pressable-staging.mystagingwebsite.com "my.pressable-staging.mystagingwebsite.com") and select a site.
Once a site is selected you can click the icon for phpMyAdmin seen towards the top right of the page:

A new tab/window will open up allowing you to import, export, or make changes to your site’s database tables.

## Accessing your Database Programatically

Pressable has restricted access to a site’s Database for security purposes. You can still access it [programmatically which you can learn more about here.](https://pressable-staging.mystagingwebsite.com/knowledgebase/access-wordpress-database-with-pressable/)
