Overview

This documentation describes how to manage MySQL databases in the customer portal.

It serves as a central guide for day-to-day database operations, helping you carry out changes in a traceable, safe and consistent way.

Contents

This documentation covers:

• Creating a new database
• Changing the password of an existing database
• Deleting a database that is no longer needed

Scope

The steps described apply to database management within the customer portal.

You can access the databases of a hosting package via:

Hosting -> [your hosting package] -> Databases

The overview lists all databases with their name, description and used storage size.

Usage notes

Before changing an existing database, always check whether it is still actively used and whether all relevant information is documented.

Be especially careful when changing credentials or deleting a database, since these actions can affect connected applications and websites.
