Install a database management system

Description

A database management system (DBMS) is designed to maintain databases and ensure the security and integrity of stored data. This system allows you to add, delete, and modify databases and retrieve information from them. 

Ispmanager works with the following database management systems:

  • MySQL — a relational database management system (RDBMS). The phpMyAdmin web interface is used to manage the DBMS. It is installed with ispmanager by default. It is possible to configure remote access to work with the DBMS in ispmanager;
  • MariaDB — a relational database management system (RDBMS). It is a modified version of MySQL. The phpMyAdmin web interface is used to manage the DBMS. It is installed with ispmanager by default. It is possible to configure remote access to work with the DBMS in ispmanager;
  • PostgreSQL — is an object-relational DBMS. The web interface phpPgAdmin is used to manage the DBMS. It can work with a large number of tables and perform more complex queries. There is no remote access configuration for working with the DBMS in ispmanager.
