All software has bugs and security holes, MySQL has bugs and security holes.
Using SSL is up to the person deploying the web app so it's not the fault of the web app. MySQL doesn't have to run over SSL.
(Using MySQL just as an example, MSSQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL will have the same issues albeit not all the same and each having their own)
I find it very useful to be able to run a query on my database anywhere I am and I use phpMyAdmin. It may not be the most secure but when you need something to have access anywhere it outweighs the security issues.
Yes, that is what we all do sure.
Using console direct or an database vendor programm is a lot faster, safer and more stable than any webapplication for database.
-> Just remember phpMyAdmin...........
Yes, it presents a certain security risk if the website is not setup correctly, but opening the database port is also a potential security risk. I know some companies where databases are not accessible only through web based tools, so you don't get direct access to the database with any desktop application.
I like very much this approach, as for me it's the web-based "desktop application".

I am very happy to achieve this milestone for Webdbadmin. With all the newly added functions it can be considered a complete administration tool for mysql. Fine-tuning will follow.
I haven't planned it yet, as I want the tool to get a bit more mature.
I had just a few requests for mssql support until now, I don't know if such a tool is really required for mssql. As I don't have experience with mssql(don't use it on a daily basis), I don't know what's needed there.
If people could give me feedback regarding this(requirements, examples), would be great.
