Changing database status using Cloudera Operational Database

After you create an operational database, you can start, stop, or drop the database using the Cloudera Operational Database user interface.

Required role: You must be logged into the Cloudera Operational Database as an ODAdmin

  1. In the Cloudera Operational Database web interface, select the Databases tab.
  2. Find the database you want to manage.
  3. In the row of the selected database, click Actions and select one of the following actions:
    • Start Database - Starting the database. When you create a new database, it is initially started by default.
    • Stop Database - Stopping the database and the underlying instances.
    • Drop Database - Dropping the database and deleting all the data that is stored in that database. However, your Cloudera Shared Data Experience Data Lake continues to exist and you can create another database using the same Data Lake.
