Edit MySQL server settings (my.cnf file) trough Plesk
MySQL server settings (my.cnf) can only be updated via CLI, it would be faster if these changes could be made in Plesk Panel or PHPMyAdmin without the need to edit settings on server.

Allow creation of database users on different database servers configured on Plesk
In case when more than one database server are available on the Plesk server, e.g two or more MSSQL servers, it is possible to enable the "Database server selection" option on the subscriptions's service plan which allows creation of databases and database users on any database server available by default
It would be great, however, if the ability to create databases and database users on all database servers available were enabled separately, like below:

Add MariaDB Connector/ODBC
> Drivers
With MySQL and MariaDB going their own way more and more, it is important to add MariaDB Connector/ODBC as an programming interface to Plesk as well. Side by side with the already available MySQL Connector/ODBC. This is easily done.
One cannot guarantee MySQL Connector/ODBC to be compatible with MariaDB in the near future.
Download MariaDB Connector/ODBC from here:

Install MySQL Connector/ODBC 8.0 to support modern TLS versions and ciphers
(This is related to https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/184549-feature-suggestions/suggestions/44353242-add-mariadb-connector-odbc)
> Drivers
MySQL Connector/ODBC version 8 needs to be available to Plesk users, because 5.3 is outdated, not to mention 3.51.
In MySQL Connector/ODBC, there is support for new, modern TLS versions and ciphers.
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/encrypted-connection-protocols-ciphers.html

Associate the same database user to multiples databases
I would like to suggest the possibility to associate the same database user to specific databases of the same subscription.
As an example:
Subscription example.com:
Databases: Example1, example2, example3
Database users: user1 and user 2
At the moment user can only be associated via the Plesk panel to an specific database or "any"
But in case I need/want to associate the user1 to example1 and example2 it's not possible.

Add the ability to encrypt a Database via Plesk interface
Add the ability to encrypt databases as Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) via Plesk interface, which is supported in MariaDB 10.1 and later.
At-rest encryption means the data files and logs are encrypted on the disk and makes it almost impossible for someone to access or steal a hard disk and get access to the original data (provided that the key is secured and not stored locally).

Ability to track number of simultaneous connections to the MySQL
Sometimes Plesk is not accessible with error:
DB query failed: "SET sql_mode = ''" Error: SQLSTATE[08004] [1040] Too many connectionsIt is possible to inrease the number of connections but it will also be good to have some monitoring of the current number of simultaneous connections to the MySQL, for example in Advanced Monitoring extension.
It will help to prevent Plesk downtime and set the reasonabl limit for max_connections

Ability to select database schema when creating database users in Plesk for MSSQL
It is required to import databases created externaly with dbo database schema.
When such database imported in Plesk it is assigned to schema of the database user created in Plesk. When user created in Plesk, new schema is created for database user. For example, user test1 created in Plesk will have database schema "test1"
This results to the non-functional Database due to wrong schema (reuqired dbo, while database imported with schema test1).
The suggestion is to add functionality to select schema when creating database users in Plesk
