What does it do?
----------------
The intended use of the DB admin backend module is to inspect and administrate the TYPO3 DB in the backend. 
As it uses Doctrine, various database backends are supported (MySQL, PgSQL, Oracle etc.). 

Features:

- Simple QueryBuilder user interface

- Browse DBs/tables and edit/delete/insert rows

- View table structure/indexes

- CSV export function

- Dump/Import via native tools like mysqldump


Limitations:

- Database/Table structure is read only (should be handled by TYPO3 anyway)

- ExpressionBuilder is not covered (yet)
