Manage and delete a database

Start, stop, or restartCopy Anchor Link

Open the database detail page and select Start, Stop, or Restart as appropriate. Wait for the operation to finish and check the runtime status. A stopped database cannot serve application requests, and restart can interrupt connections.

Do not overlap lifecycle actions with imports, account changes, or backups. An accepted action can still fail during execution; refresh the detail page to confirm the result.

Delete a databaseCopy Anchor Link

Deletion permanently removes the database and its stored data. Export anything you need before proceeding, and update applications that still depend on it.

1. Open the database detail page and find Delete database.
2. Select Delete.
3. Enter the exact database name in the confirmation field and confirm deletion.
4. Verify that the resource is no longer active in the project.

There is no undo action in the Console. Use Stop for a temporary shutdown rather than deletion.
