How to Reconfigure Database Clusters

To update a database's configuration via the command-line, follow these steps:

1. Install doctl, the DigitalOcean command-line tool.

2. Create a personal access token, and save it for use with doctl.

3. Use the token to grant doctl access to your DigitalOcean account.

                 doctl auth init
               

4. Finally, update a database's configuration with doctl databases configuration update. The basic usage looks like this, but you'll want to read the usage docs for more details:

                 doctl databases configuration update <db-id> [flags]
               

To update a database's configuration using the DigitalOcean API, follow these steps:

1. Create a personal access token, and save it for use with the API.

2. Send a PATCH request to https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/databases/{database_cluster_uuid}/config

   cURL

   To update a database's configuration with cURL, call:

   
                   curl -X PATCH \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" \
     -d '{"config": {"sql_mode": "ANSI,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,NO_ZERO_DATE,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,STRICT_ALL_TABLES","sql_require_primary_key": true}}' \
     "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/databases/9cc10173-e9ea-4176-9dbc-a4cee4c4ff30/config"

   Python

   
                   import os
   from pydo import Client
   
   client = Client(token=os.environ.get("DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN"))
   
   resp = client.databases.patch_config(database_cluster_uuid="a7aba9d")
