Access to the MySQL database

You have full database access to your WordPress site at all times via your Box settings.

Each Box has its own MySQL database. You can easily access the MySQL database from the Box overview of each Box.

Boxes on our old servers use Adminer, new Boxes use phpMyAdmin

Boxes on our previous servers use Adminer as database management software.

This is how Adminer looks like.

👉 Boxes on our new servers use phpMyAdmin as database management software:

Only the interfaces are slightly different, but the functional scope of both services is identical, including:

  • Create new tables

  • Delete existing database tables

  • Adjust individual database entries.

ℹ️ The database tables information_schema and performance_schema are not errors or indicators of a hacked box. They are standard tables in your database. They also exist on old Boxes, but are not displayed in Adminer.

Databases cannot be accessed or controlled remotely

The databases of your Boxes are completely protected against external access. You can only access and edit them manually via the Raidboxes Dashboard.

ℹ️ This also means you are not able to maintain your database using external tools.
