FAQ - Databases

• MySQL
• Oracle Database

MySQL/Oracle

No, the IT Center must create additional database users or schemas. You can then assign the authorizations (GRANTS) for these database users or schemas yourself.

Access to the database is only possible from the RWTH network.

MySQL

The IT Center provides a separate phpMyAdmin instance to access your database:

https://myadmin.itc.rwth-aachen.de/phpmyadmin/

In addition, it can be used for example via a MySQL client or a MySQL DB connector.

Oracle

Access to the database usually occurs via the Oracle Listener and is possible with the Oracle Client (sqlplus) or a database connector (e.g. JDBC).

The password can be changed by the user if the previous one is still available.

If the password has been lost, please contact the IT-ServiceDesk.
