Auto-start option for databases (Cloud only)

The Details tab on the database administration page now includes an Auto-start option to automatically start a database when the data tier is restarted during regular monthly maintenance.

Auto-start option

It's possible that you don't want some of your databases to start when the data tier is restarted, while other databases are essential and must be started along with the data tier. Use the Auto-start option to control the behavior of individual databases. By automatically starting only essential databases upon data tier restart, you can conserve system resources and reduce database startup time.

You can always manually start a database from the Databases administration page.

Note: If a database has a space in its name and the Auto-start option is disabled, there is a known issue that prevents the database from being manually started after the data tier is restarted. To work around this issue, enable the Auto-start option then start the database. This issue will be fixed in an upcoming release.
