Managing databases in Managed Service for MySQL®
You can add and remove databases, view information about them, and manage some database settings using Managed Service for MySQL® interfaces.
Warning
You can't manage databases using SQL commands. However, you can perform the ALTER DATABASE
operation.
Getting a list of cluster databases
- Go to the folder page
and select Managed Service for MySQL. - Click the name of the cluster you need and select the Databases tab.
If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.
The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name
or --folder-id
parameter.
To get a list of databases in a cluster, run the command:
yc managed-mysql database list \
--cluster-name=<cluster_name>
You can request the cluster name with the list of clusters in the folder.
-
Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into the environment variable:
export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
-
Use the Database.list method and make a request, e.g., via cURL
:curl \ --request GET \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \ --url 'https://mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-mysql/v1/clusters/<cluster_ID>/databases'
You can get the cluster ID with a list of clusters in the folder.
-
View the server response to make sure the request was successful.
-
Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into the environment variable:
export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
-
Clone the cloudapi
repository:cd ~/ && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi
Below, we assume the repository contents are stored in the
~/cloudapi/
directory. -
Use the DatabaseService/List call and make a request, e.g., via gRPCurl
:grpcurl \ -format json \ -import-path ~/cloudapi/ \ -import-path ~/cloudapi/third_party/googleapis/ \ -proto ~/cloudapi/yandex/cloud/mdb/mysql/v1/database_service.proto \ -rpc-header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \ -d '{ "cluster_id": "<cluster_ID>" }' \ mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 \ yandex.cloud.mdb.mysql.v1.DatabaseService.List
You can get the cluster ID with a list of clusters in the folder.

are reserved for Managed Service for MySQL®. You cannot create DBs with these names. -
Grant privileges for access to the database created to the appropriate cluster users.
If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.
The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name
or --folder-id
parameter.
To create a database in a cluster:
-
View a description of the CLI create database command:
yc managed-mysql database create --help
-
Run the create database command:
yc managed-mysql database create <DB_name> --cluster-name=<cluster_name>
The DB name may contain Latin letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores. The name may be up to 63 characters long. Such names as
mysql
,sys
,information_schema
, andperformance_schema
are reserved for Managed Service for MySQL®. You cannot create DBs with these names.You can request the cluster name with the list of clusters in the folder.
Managed Service for MySQL® runs the create database operation.

Time limits
A Terraform provider sets the timeout for Managed Service for MySQL® cluster operations:
- Creating a cluster, including by restoring one from a backup: 15 minutes.
- Editing a cluster, including the MySQL® version update: 60 minutes.
- Deleting a cluster: 15 minutes.
Operations exceeding the set timeout are interrupted.
How do I change these limits?
Add the timeouts
block to the cluster description, for example:
resource "yandex_mdb_mysql_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
...
timeouts {
create = "1h30m" # 1 hour 30 minutes
update = "2h" # 2 hours
delete = "30m" # 30 minutes
}
}
-
Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into the environment variable:
export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
-
Use the Cluster.update method and make a request, e.g., via cURL
:Warning
The API method will assign default values to all the parameters of the object you are modifying unless you explicitly provide them in your request. To avoid this, list the settings you want to change in the
updateMask
parameter as a single comma-separated string.curl \ --request PATCH \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \ --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ --url 'https://mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-mysql/v1/clusters/<cluster_ID>' \ --data '{ "updateMask": "configSpec.mysqlConfig_<MySQL®_version>", "configSpec": { "mysqlConfig_<MySQL®_version>": { "sqlMode": [ "<SQL_mode_1>", "<SQL_mode_2>", ..., "<SQL_mode_N>" ] } } }'

Changing a character set and collation rules
To set the CHARACTER SET
and COLLATE
settings for the database:
-
Connect to the database under the account of the database owner or as a user with the
ALTER
privilege for this database. -
Run the ALTER DATABASE
query:ALTER DATABASE <DB_name> CHARACTER SET = 'utf8mb4' COLLATE = 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci';
-
To apply settings to the database tables along with the database, convert the tables with the same settings:
ALTER TABLE <DB_name>.<table_name> CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET 'utf8mb4' COLLATE 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci';
