How to Establish Relational Data Assets

In BoostonCP, your databases are managed as autonomous clusters. Follow this manual to establish a new data store for your web application.

Step 1: Define Cluster Identity

  1. Navigate to MySQL Databases from your User Dashboard.
  2. Associate Domain: Select the domain that will use this database.
  3. Database Name: Enter a name. BoostonCP will automatically add your username_ prefix for system isolation.
  4. Access Key: Set a strong password. Use the "Sync" button to generate a neural-grade secure key.

Step 2: Monitoring the Cluster Ledger

Once provisioned, your database appears in the Operational Nodes list. Here you can monitor:

  • Payload Size: The current disk footprint of your database.
  • Secure Keys: Use the "Eye Icon" to reveal the password or the "Copy Icon" to transmit it to your clipboard.

Step 3: Credential Rotation (Editing)

If you need to update your database security, click the Edit (Pencil) Icon. You can change the username, associated domain, or generate a fresh access key without deleting the data.

MANUAL TIP: Always use the full name (including the prefix) when configuring your application's wp-config.php or .env file (e.g., user_site_db).
