Create a PostgreSQL database

Before you beginCopy Anchor Link

Select the intended workspace and project. The project needs an active billing account with positive, unexpired credits. Decide which application will connect to the database so you can select a compatible deployment location.

Create the resourceCopy Anchor Link

1. Open Relational Database and select Create relational database.
2. Enter a Relational database name.
3. Select an available PostgreSQL version and Region.
4. Choose a Plan and review its capacity and displayed price.
5. Review Summary (on the right on wide screens, or below the form on smaller screens) and select Create relational database.
6. Open the resource after returning to the list and wait for provisioning and startup to finish.

Use the versions and plans currently offered by the Console; availability depends on the region. The database is private by default. A successful creation request does not mean it is already accepting connections.

Summary updates as you edit the name, version, region, and plan. It shows the selected project, CPU, instance memory, and hourly price before you submit.

Verify and continueCopy Anchor Link

Check the runtime status on the detail page. If the initial start fails, inspect the displayed error before using Start. Follow Connect to PostgreSQL to verify a connection.

Plan availabilityCopy Anchor Link

Plans are specific to Relational Database. A plan with the same name in another RDC Cloud product can have different capacity or pricing. Review the plan offered for the selected region. If a previously selected plan is no longer available, refresh the creation page and select an available plan again.

Storage availabilityCopy Anchor Link

Storage allowances for newly created databases are monitored, not enforced as a hard disk quota. Creation or data import can be temporarily unavailable when storage capacity is low. If this happens, contact support with the resource ID, if available, and the displayed error. Existing databases are not automatically stopped when they exceed their allowance.

Workspace availabilityCopy Anchor Link

The selected workspace determines which regions, plans, and database engine versions you can choose. A plan must also be available in the selected region. If an option disappears before you submit, refresh the page and choose an available option. Contact support if your workspace needs access to an unavailable option.

Changes to availability do not delete existing resources or prevent you from viewing, stopping, or deleting them.
