Usage considerations

These tools provide powerful control over database structure and content. Changes take effect immediately, so caution is required when modifying or deleting data.

For applications with larger datasets, higher traffic, or custom database configurations, platforms such as cloud servers or a dedicated server may offer greater flexibility, performance tuning, and backup control.
