Databases
The Databases tab provides separate MySQL/MariaDB and PostgreSQL views. If an engine is not installed, an administrator can request installation from the engine card.
Create a database
- Select MySQL or PostgreSQL .
- Select Add database .
- Enter the database name, username, and a password of at least 12 characters.
- Add exact allowed remote IPv4 addresses only when remote connections are required.
- Select Create database and user .
Each database receives a dedicated least-privilege user. Avoid allowing remote access unless necessary, and restrict it to known addresses.
Database actions
For an active database, you can copy connection details or its saved password, export SQL, rotate credentials, and edit remote-access addresses.
MySQL databases can open phpMyAdmin through an authenticated launch. PostgreSQL databases can open the built-in PostgreSQL Studio to browse schemas, tables, and rows and execute supported operations. Follow the dedicated PostgreSQL Studio guide for the complete workflow and operational boundaries.
Deleting a database permanently removes the database and its managed user. Export required data first.
