While looking around at the latest plugins that are available for Wordpress, I noticed on wordpress org, that the second most popular plugin is WP-DB-Backup. As I continue browsing through the most popular list of plugins, I find several other plugins that optimize the Wordpress database, and plugin that will help you restore your database if it’s corrupted, then a few other plugins to help you back up your database much like DB-Backup.
After a while of looking through this list of popular plugins I start thinking to myself, "Why don’t more people know about the all in one database plugin that does everything you could possibly want with a Database without the need of installing multiple plugins to do the job."
So in attempt to save my visitors time and hassle, I would like to recommend WP-DBManger plugin.
WP-DBManager is a wordpress plugin I have been using for a few weeks now, and I am really impressed with all of the features if offers. My favorite feature of this plugin is the ability to configure a set time to optimize an entire database automatically. Just by using this feature you keep your tables in tip top condition for optimal speed, and it will avoid the dreaded Excessive CPU usage error that certain web hosts like to take websites down with.
This plugin will allows you to schedule automatic backups of a database, with the ability to make a backup on the server (Which I recommend), or email it to you. WP-DBManager includes the ability to restore from old backups that are saved on the server in the event you may need to bring your website back from a crash, or if you wish to go back to an older database for some reason or another. For advanced users that are more into database programming, Wp-DBmanager will allow you to empty/drop tables, run a Mysql Query, or delete a database entirely without needing to log into Database Admin / control panels.
My apologies about the long explaination of the very useful features, but as you can tell it does everything a wordpress blogger could want and more all by itself. It also gives you the ability to configure every automatic operation it performs right down to having the Database backup & optimize every minute if you needed it to, or by hour, days, and months.
So if you are tired of having to deal with multiple plugins and want to have a one stop Database plugin that does it all, then save some time and download this plugin.

PS: If you know of someone who is creating, or thinking of creating another Database wordpress plugin, please, stop them from doing so, there is already enough of these types of plugins out on the web.

I have WP-DBManager on my WordPress blog but I guess I don’t know how to use it as I am getting high CPU messages. I will have to go look at it again.
