We had no idea Wordpress even had these database tools. This plugin does exactly
what it says it does in a very concise and intuitive way. Not really sure why it’s
not got thousands of active installs! Good work. Oliver

Just as I like the solutions that you offer on your blog. Very effective here also,
where don’t need a lot of (bloatware) plugins for. Even if not all come with out
of the box solutions, I really don’t mind but this one is simple and effective overall!
Thanks!

Easy to repair and optimize database tables on a site, almost idiot proof to use.
