It may be just me, but I personally would not mention the lines of code as a success story metric.
I feel like lots of line of code usually means bloat.
That aside, I often use phpMyAdmin and it is a great tool for those quick little edits! And if you know already about SQL then it is really easy to use.

If you already know SQL then its much faster to type a line into the CLI than click the mouse 50000 times in a web gui. However, I do use it so when I'm on call I can walk someone thru a simple password reset, or something of similar level, over the phone rather than spend 45 minutes find and plug in the laptop, VPN in, do 15 seconds of work, then shut down everything and put it away until next time. Someone completely incapable of finding the semicolon key on a keyboard can usually none the less be successfully talked thru clicking the mouse 5000 times on a web page.

I wouldn't necessarily dismiss lots of lines of code as bloat, but In this case you are probably right.
Indeed, it's like measuring the quality of a plane by its weight, but it's not hard to gauge "too much" weight.
