MS SQL Database Dashboard (Summary)
Navigate to: Main Menu > MS SQL > Databases > Click on a specific Database Name.
The Summary tab acts as the central control panel for your SQL database. It provides the essential connection strings needed by your applications, monitors storage usage, and offers access to administrative tools.
1. General Information & Storage
The top section displays the technical specifications of your database container.
- SQL Version: The engine version (e.g., MS SQL 2022) hosting your data.
- Full domain name: The unique DNS address of your database server.
- Storage Usage: The bars on the right visualize your disk quota, split into two distinct limits:
- Data file: The space used by your actual tables, records, and stored procedures.
- Log file: The space reserved for transaction logs.
- CHANGE SUBSCRIPTION: Click this button to move the database to a different hosting package (e.g., upgrading from Free to Premium).
2. Connection Details
This panel contains everything you need to connect your website or local management tools (like SQL Server Management Studio) to the database.
- SQL Server address: The network address to enter into your client software.
- Connection string: Click COPY TO CLIPBOARD to grab the pre-formatted connection string required for your website's
web.config or appsettings.json file.
- Change Login Password: A link to reset the password for the database owner (DBO) if you have forgotten it.
3. Backup Location FTP
Every database has a dedicated, private FTP folder used specifically for transferring backup files (.bak, .mdf).
- Usage: Use the credentials provided here to upload a database backup from your local computer so it can be restored to the server.
- Password: Use the same password you use to log in to this control panel.
- Backup File Manager: Click this link to manage the files in this folder via the web browser instead of an FTP client.
