MYSQL Performance Tuning and Monitoring
t would be a good idea to have an SQL section where users can run optimization scripts like MYSQLTUNER etc and enter suggestioned changes in a GUI that directly change the mysql.conf directly and correctly.
An ability to monitor performance and tweak would be ideal, making the task of SQL performance monitoring and tweaking far easier.
Also optimize commands and other tasks could be run for this panel.
as well as optimize and the ability to add it to cron for weekly or monthly.
387 votesIn Plesk Obsidian 18.0.54, published July 18th, 2023, the ability to tune the MySQL/MariaDB server performance was added to Tools & Settings > Performance Booster (under “General Settings”).
Please try it and let us know here what further improvements you would like to see.

Add support for more DBs
When I first saw the option of create DBs, I thought it was something like I'm suggesting. MongoDB, MariaDB, CouchDB, etc, etc. This will be super cool. :)
291 votesThe previous status was set by mistake.
Due to the changes in MongoDB’s licensing we are no longer able to consider this as a potential feature to be added to our product.
Please continue to vote if you would like to use CouchDB in Plesk.

Multiple MySQL Versions configureable over Panel
I'd be happy if you could integrate multiple MySQL Versions into Plesk. Each Customer should be able to choose his MySQL. Also choosing more than only one version should be implemented.
159 votesThank you for your input. We will consider the possibility of implementing this feature in upcoming releases.
Since Plesk Onyx panel admin will be able to install different MySQL versions as a Docker containers, then the DB servers can be connected as remote DB to Plesk.

Hide/Show Database Servers for clients
Administrator should have the possibility to make Database Servers hidden from Clients.
My scenario is:
1 or more servers that are intended for Web only (Nginx+Apache+PHP/Ruby/Python)
2 or more servers for Databases (MySQL / could be PostgreSQL also)In the Database Servers, the administrators should be able to select visible servers for clients.
Why? Ideal is to hide the localhost server when only external are to be used. Some DB servers may get to full and you want the clients to select only from lower used ones. You have demands from different clients to support older versions of MySQL for…

Option to shrink MSSQL Database log
Many a times during database updates / ddl script executions the log file of MSSQL database becomes too large. There should be an option to shrink the log files. Currently this feature is disabled for both SQL Server Management Studio and Query.

website copy should also copy related database(s)
Right now "Website copying" feature does not copy database(s) that related to the website that will be copied.
It would be great if Plesk will suggest to copy the website's database(s) if there are any.
It is understood that in general such feature can not guarantee that copied website will work with the copied database. However it will simplify web developer's work.

PostgreSQL integration and tuning
Please do better integration of PostgreSQL into Plesk like CPU and memory usage in Health Monitoring and Dump button in Database page. Please also add PostgreSQL tuning into Plesk, especially for modern hardware with 32 or 64 GB memory and 4 to 8 cores and fast SSD or NVMe drives. Thanks!

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.

Implement solution instead of myLittleAdmin for Plesk for Windows
Vulnerability CVE-2020-13166 was discovered in myLittleAdmin and since the only option to completely mitigate the issue is to remove myLittleAdmin, it would be good to implement another tool to manage MS SQL databases through the web interface (instead of resorting to Microsoft SQL Management studio)
18 votesIn the nearest future, we plan to stop shipping MyLittleAdmin with Plesk. This is because MyLittleAdmin is not in active development, and has known security issues. Instead, Plesk will provide links to downloadable clients and instructions on how to connect the client to the Plesk server. This change is currently scheduled to take place with the release of Plesk Obsidian 18.0.53 (early June 2023).

install sql server reporting services with SQL server on shared hosting. Would be a valuable & useful feature for your product & consumers.
Availability of reporting services on SQL server would be very useful on shared web hosting. My new ISP says Plesk doesn't support reporting services. I think it would be great if you did - not every site is a blog or simple brochure style. Any small scale business site still requires reporting, and SSRS is a natural fit for ASP.Net hosting.

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

Temporarily remove insert, update permissions from database when a pre-defined size-limit (quota) is exceeded
When mysql database size reaches it's quota e.g. 1GB insert,update permissions are removed for that databases users. permissions are restored when database is within quota.
in short it should stop the ability of the database growing in size but not stop basic functions like reading existing data...
this would be fine to run on the quota check cron or somethng.
