Accessing Databases

After you have created a database and assigned a database user to it,
you can access it from Plesk using the corresponding link in Websites
& Domains > Databases. The links differ depending on the database
type:

• phpMyAdmin for MySQL databases
• pgMyAdmin for PostgreSQL databases
• myLittleAdmin for SQL Server databases.

When accessing a database with these tools, Plesk automatically uses the
corresponding database user credentials.

If you want to access your database using other tools (such as SQL
Server Management Studio) or want to give other applications access to
it, you will need to provide these tools and applications with the
following:

• To connect to MySQL and PostgreSQL, you will need to provide the
  host name (or IP address) and the database user login and password.
  To view this information, click the Connection Info link under
  the database name.
• To connect to Microsoft SQL Server, you will also need to specify the
  Microsoft SQL Server instance. For Microsoft SQL Server 2012, 2014
  and 2016, Plesk uses the named instances (MSSQLSERVER2012,
  MSSQLSERVER2014, MSSQLSERVER2016 respectively). For example,
  the host can be specified as mydomain.comMSSQLSERVER2012 or
  123.123.123.123MSSQLSERVER2012.
