Make utf8mb4 default when backing up mysql databases
When i backup database with Plesk (either with Export/Import feature or with Backup Manager), it loses all characters outside Unicode BMP (all characters > 0xFFFF).
It's because mysqldump default charset is utf8, not utf8mb4.This should be changed, for example, if database contains at least one field with utf8mb4 charset - mysqldump should be run with --default-character-set=utf8mb4 option.
Settings in /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysqldump.cnf are not respected too, it works when i use mysqldump from command-line, but doesn't work when i export or backup db with plesk.

Create .7Z dumps of databases
Within Plesk it is possible to create a dump of a (SQL Server) database. Plesk then seems to use 7Zip to create a .ZIP file. It would be nice if it was possible to choose between the .ZIP or the .7Z file format as .ZIP is more compatible, but 7Z compresses such database dumps up to 10 times better.
And of course you would need to be able to import 7Zipped dumps also.9 votesThank you for your input! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

Mass import database dump
There are scenarios where multiple databases for multiple domains have to be restored.
In such cases, it would be great to be able to mass import dumps from database backup files instead of going one by one manually importing them on a domain basis

Restore PostgreSQL databases that has some objects owned by postgres user from Plesk Backup
It would be great to have an ability to restore PostgreSQL databases that has some objects owned by postgres user from Plesk Backup. As of now, backup is created without any errors, however it is not possible to restore the database because restoration is done not in behalf of postgres user.
Or at least have a warning when backup is created that I have to restore the database as a postgres user from the command line and do not rely on backup of the database created via backup manager.

Incorporate the default collation setting as a feature in the "Tools & Settings: Database Servers: Database Hosting Settings" section.
It should be a simple matter to incorporate the default collation as a feature in the "Tools & Settings: Database Servers: Database Hosting Settings" section. This also needs to be available as an option when a WordPress site is set up within Plesk.

Upgrade PostgreSQL
PostageSQL provides some powerful function to process non-relational data (eg: "jsonb") after version 9.4.
Would you please upgrade that?
Thanks.5 votesIf you mean PostgreSQL, we support 9.4 version in the current 12.5 version – https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/12.5/software-requirements/#s4-2-1 and upcoming Plesk Onyx – https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/17.0/software-requirements/#s4-2-1
We will officially support next versions if many people will support your request. But I think that you can try to use 9.5 version right now. It should work, but we have not tested it yet.

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).

MySQL change the charset
Allow to chose another charset when creating a database or do not set one.
Plesk does use:
"CREATE DATABASE databasename /*!40101 default charset=utf8 */"
And with this does overwrite when the MySQL config was changed to use utf8mb4 for example.Or allow to choose a charset on creation or create DBs with:
"CREATE DATABASE databasename"3 votesThank you for your input. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it is popular. Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

Better Database Server Assignment / Visibility
Currently you only have the option to do nothing and "SHOW ALL" database servers or restrict to a single database server per subscription by using the permissions tab. This means each user that falls under this criteria need a custom service plan.
We would like to display more than a single database server for clients that choose to pay extra for an additional database server that only they can use. Some projects grow and they need an additional database server - or in some cases they need to migrate data between the old database server (sometimes local to plesk server)…

Ability to clone databases with definers
On the attempt to clone database with DEFINER Plesk failed if there is no the same user on destination database.
Currently, it is required either manually remove definer from database dump or add super priveleges: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005033014-Unable-to-import-MySQL-dump-using-Import-Dump-feature-in-Plesk-ERROR-1227-42000-at-line-1421-Access-denied-you-need-at-least-one-of-the-SUPER-privilege-s-for-this-operation
Since Mysql version 5.7.8 it is possible to use the --skip-definer option with mysqldump:

Better MSSQL handling
MS SQL Server 2012 Express via Plesk Installer is configured to use dynamic ports by default and this causes a warning in Tools & Settings > Database Serrvers. Packages installed through your installer should not cause a warning by default :)
Improve the behavior of field "Allow remote connections from", under Domains > domain.tld > Databases > User Management > username because the generated firewall rule is OFF by default; maybe this is by design, infact the field description states "Your changes in this list will be pre-moderated by your hosting provider.", but the admin doesn't get any notification about…
