Suspend or Resume Database

Suspending your database stops your database from running without deleting it. This doesn’t change or remove anything in the database itself. Connections to the database remain in place but will not work while the database is suspended. You will not incur any costs for the database during the suspension.

Click Suspend database and confirm the suspension by clicking Suspend database again in the modal/pop-up.

When you’re ready to restart your database, click Resume database and confirm the restart by clicking Resume database again in the modal/pop-up.

Delete Database

The Delete database button allows you to remove the database. If you delete the database, all of the data in the database is destroyed.
