Hello everybody !
I've just downloaded phpMyAdmin 3.5.8.2 and 4.0.8 to install them locally and to be able to administrate my remote databases.
I have to sync 2 databases (2 different servers), I've done it already with another 3.X installation, now on 4.0.8, I can't find the "synchronize" tab, which previously pointed to "server_synchronize.php".
Is it a discontinued feature or something like that ? It's still present in 3.5.8.2. Thank you for your help. -- Cordialement, Adnan RIHAN.
Hello Adnan,
As outlined in the ChangeLog for phpMyAdmin 4.0.0, we removed the synchronize feature that existed in the 3.5.x series: https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/blob/RELEASE_4_0_0/ChangeLog#L72
We removed the existing Synchronize feature because of serious flaws: http://sourceforge.net/p/phpmyadmin/mailman/message/30067703/
However, we plan to recreate an improved edition for a future version. In the meantime, I suggest you to take a look at MySQL’s own replication feature, for keeping two database servers in sync.

Thanks for asking about this! Best,
