Database management commands

Databases can be used to store and manage sets of structured information, or data. The interaction between the user and a database is done using a Database Engine, which provides a structured query language to add, modify or delete information from the database.

Endpoint management

A point of connection to a Database Instance. The endpoint is associated with an IPv4 address and a port. It contains the information about whether the endpoint is read-write or not. The endpoints always point to the main node of a Database Instance.

All endpoints have TLS enabled. You can use TLS to make your data and your passwords unreadable in transit to anyone but you.

For added security, you can set up ACL rules to restrict access to your endpoint to a set of trusted hosts or networks of your choice.

Load Balancers are used to forward traffic to the right node based on the node state (active/hot standby). The Load Balancers' configuration is set to cut off inactive connections if no TCP traffic is sent within a 6-hour timeframe. We recommend using connection pooling on the application side to renew database connections regularly.

Instance management commands

A Database Instance is made up of one or multiple dedicated compute nodes running a single database engine. Two node settings are available: High-Availability (HA), with a main node and one replica, and standalone with a main node. The HA standby node is linked to the main node, using synchronous replication. Synchronous replication offers the ability to confirm that all changes intended by a transaction have been transferred and applied to the synchronous replica node, providing durability to the data.

Note: HA standby nodes are not accessible to users unless the main node becomes unavailable and the standby takes over. If you wish to run queries on a read-only node, you can use Read Replicas

Read Replicas can be used for certain read-only workflows such as Business Intelligence, or for a read-only scaling of your application. Read Replicas use asynchronous replication to replicate data from the main node.

Clone a Database Instance

User privileges management commands

Privileges are permissions that can be granted to database users. You can manage user permissions either via the console, the Scaleway APIs or SQL. Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL provides a simplified and unified permission model through the API and the console to make things easier to manage and understand.

Each user has associated permissions that give them access to zero or more logical databases. These include:

• None: No access to the database
• Read: Allow users to read tables and fields in a database
• Write: Allow users to write content in databases.
• Admin: Read and write access to the data, and extended privileges depending on the database engine.

Read replica management

A Read Replica is a live copy of a Database Instance that behaves like an Instance, but that only allows read-only connections. The replica mirrors the data of the primary Database node and any changes made are replicated to the replica asynchronously. Read Replicas allow you to scale your Database Instance for read-heavy database workloads. They can also be used for business intelligence workloads.

A Read Replica can have at most one direct access and one Private Network endpoint. Loadbalancer endpoints are not available on Read Replicas even if this resource is displayed in the Read Replica response example.

If you want to remove a Read Replica endpoint, you can use delete a Database Instance endpoint API call.

Instance Access Control Lists (ACL) also apply to Read Replica direct access endpoints.

Limitations: There might be replication lags between the primary node and its Read Replica nodes. You can try to reduce this lag with some good practices:

• All your tables should have a primary key
• Don't run large transactions that modify, delete or insert lots of rows. Try to split it into several small transactions.

Create a Read Replica

Create a new Read Replica of a Database Instance. You must specify the region and the instance_id. You can only create a maximum of 3 Read Replicas per Database Instance.

same-zone		Defines whether to create the replica in the same availability zone as the main instance nodes or not.
region	Default: fr-par One of: fr-par, nl-ams, pl-waw	Region to target. If none is passed will use default region from the config

Resync a Read Replica

When you resync a Read Replica, first it is reset, then its data is resynchronized from the primary node. Your Read Replica remains unavailable during the resync process. The duration of this process is proportional to the size of your Database Instance. The configured endpoints do not change.

Usage:

scw rdb read-replica reset <read-replica-id ...> [arg=value ...]

Args:

Name		Description
read-replica-id	Required	UUID of the Read Replica
region	Default: fr-par One of: fr-par, nl-ams, pl-waw	Region to target. If none is passed will use default region from the config

Setting management

Advanced Database Instance settings allow you to tune the behavior of your database engines to better fit your needs.

Available settings depend on the database engine and its version. Note that some settings can only be defined upon database engine initialization. These are called init settings. You can find a full list of the settings available in the response body of the list available database engines endpoint.

Each advanced setting entry has a default value that users can override. The deletion of a setting entry will restore the setting to default value. Some of the defaults values can be different from the engine's defaults, as we optimize them to the Scaleway platform.

Block snapshot management

A snapshot is a consistent, instantaneous copy of the Block Storage volume of your Database Instance at a certain point in time. They are designed to recover your data in case of failure or accidental alterations of the data by a user.

Their limitation is that, unlike backups, snapshots can only be stored in the same location as the original data.
