Showcase
ODS is really easy to use, in this section, I'll showcase the most important steps to get started with ODS. Keep in mind that you can also do everything shown in the following example using the APIs.
Order your ODS instance, and select the MariaDB version and a name for your environment.
You can create as many databases as you need per ODS instance.
Let's configure an environment with named ODS01 and configured with MariaDB 10 by clicking the "Configure" button.
You can check on the status of your newly created ODS instance at any time from the control panel:
When the status state is green, available your environment is ready to use. The first thing to do from this step is to create a new user for the database. I create a new user by clicking the "Manage" button and go to the "Users" tab.
Click the "Create User" button to add a new user.
The user created, I can create a new database and assign the role "Administrator" to the user I previously created. That way, I'll able to connect the database and import my data to the newly created database.
Go to the Databases tab and click the "Create Database" button:
Then, add new permission for the user db01user by clicking "Actions" wheel and the "New permission" link
The final step is to import your existing database and connect your application to your database. ODS natively provides a reliable and secure network access to your databases. You connect your databases via the Online RPN technology which provides a publicly isolated interface to inter-connect with your existing servers or web hosting solutions.
To dump your existing database, in a terminal execute the following command:
$ mysqldump --databases mydb01 -h www.xxx.yyy.zzz -u db01user -p > dump.sqlThe command above dump your database schema and data in a file named dump.sql. To import your data in the freshly created ODS database run the following command:
mysql -p -u db01user mydb01 -P port_number_here_5278 < dump.sql And that’s all. I created and setup an ODS instance. As you see, I didn't have to install and configure anything, it just works.
You can easily snapshot a production database and then bring it back at any time by click the "New Backup" link.
You can retrieve and restore your backups at any time from the "Backups" tab.
We believe that ODS is a really nice complement to Web hosting and BareMetal servers and hope that you'll love it!
Run your databases on ODS now!
