I don’t think sequel pro will ever be a replacement for phpmyadmin, but the user experience makes me want to use it as much as possible.

To get started with a MAMP server setup you just need to find the socket mysql is using, and plug it into sequel pro.

Choose connect by socket in sequel pro and enter this as your socket:

/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock


You can check you’ve got the right path by looking for these lines in your my.cnf.

For MAMP Pro, go: File – Edit Template – MySQL my.cnf

Done.
