Description

Promotes a read-only database replica to become its own independent primary cluster. Promoted replicas no longer stay in sync with primary cluster they were forked from.

This command requires that you pass in the replica’s name, which you can retrieve by querying a database ID:

doctl databases replica list <database-cluster-id>

This command requires the ID of a database cluster, which you can retrieve by calling:

doctl databases list

Example

The following example promotes a read-only replica named example-replica for a database cluster with the ID ca9f591d-f38h-5555-a0ef-1c02d1d1e35:

doctl databases replica promote ca9f591d-f38h-5555-a0ef-1c02d1d1e35 example-replica
