MySQL is an open source, object-relational database built with speed and reliability in mind. Its large and active developer community has created many third-party applications, tools, and libraries that expand MySQL’s functionality.
The DigitalOcean API
You can use the API to manage database clusters, database pools, replicas, and users.
The DigitalOcean Command Line Client, doctl
doctl is a command-line interface for the DigitalOcean API and supports many of the same actions.
doctl supports managing database clusters, database pools, replicas, and users, and more from the command line. See the doctl documentation or use doctl databases --help for more information.
