Database Service Request

A Relational Database Service is available for researchers who need such resources in Rivanna or microservice applications. Currently database services are limited to the MySQL RDBMS, and can only be accessed from within the HPC network.

Note that you cannot connect directly to this database service from elsewhere on campus, VPN, etc. but only from Rivanna or other Research Computing systems.

Upon approval of this request you will be given the following:

The database host endpoint address
A database username
A database password

Connections can then be made over port 3306 to the endpoint using normal MySQL tools and libraries. A GUI user interface is available at https://phpmyadmin.uvadcos.io/ for convenience of management.

Databases are automatically backed up nightly, and 7 days are retained.

Data Agreement * The owner of these services assumes all responsibility for complying with state, federal, and international data retention laws. Researchers may be required to keep data securely stored for years after a project has ended and should plan accordingly. University of Virginia researchers are strongly encouraged to use the University Records Management Application (URMA), a web-based tool that automatically tracks when data can be safely transferred or destroyed.
