Databases

The Databases app allows you to manage a variety of databases depending on the types that are installed on your system. These databases can be used for individual plugins or webapps that you use with Genesis. Different database types can be installed by going to the Applications pane from the Settings menu, then downloading and installing them as you would another plugin.

How to Use
The main application pane lists databases that you have on your system that are recognized by Genesis. From here, click Add Database to generate a new certificate. The Add Databsae dialog has the following options:


 * Type: Choose the type of database to create. This list shows all database types that you have installed via the Applications pane. Required.
 * Name: An internal name that this database will be referred to as. Required.

Choosing to Add User will give following options:


 * Type: Choose the type of database to create. This list shows all database types that you have installed via the Applications pane that require database users as a means of access. Required.
 * Username: The username for the new database user. Required.
 * Password: The new database user’s password. Required.

The pane lists different databases you have generated. Click the Execute button to run commands on this database and view the output. Click Delete to delete the database. There is also a tab for viewing database users in the same way. Click Grant/Revoke Permissions to view all permissions that this database user has, and to assign/revoke these on different databases. Click Delete to delete the database user. Note that deleting databases or database users in this way when they are still being used by a plugin or webapp will lead to unpredictable errors.
