The control panel enables support for multiple MySQL databases per site. Multiple databases enable you to organize your site's data effectively and efficiently.
Enabling MySQL Databases for a site
You can enable MySQL database support for a site at the time of creating the site.
How to enable MySQL for a site
Note: The MySQL databases are backed up when you back up the site.
When you enable MySQL, you must provide the following information:
Note: The Administrator of the site cannot change the Database Administrator assigned to the site.
Important: The control panel does not implicitly spawn a database when a site is created. Setting the limit to '0', enables the administrator to create unlimited databases for the site.
Also, the disk space used by a site's MySQL databases consume available disk quota.
Important: Changing the prefix changes the database name across all the databases of the site, causing your site databases to be inaccessible. Once you set the prefix for a database, it is strongly recommended that you do not change the prefix.
If you change the prefix, you must replace the obsolete name references with the new name of the database.
