class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Backup Your Database<\/strong>: Before running queries that alter data, it&#8217;s wise to create a backup to prevent accidental data loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Test Queries<\/strong>: If possible, test your SQL statements on a development copy of your database first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use Transactions<\/strong>: For

COMMIT;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Beware of SQL Injection<\/strong>: Always sanitize inputs if you&#8217;re using user-provided data in your queries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Running SQL queries via phpMyAdmin in cPanel is a straightforward
