How do I modify the information about a database instance? - Data Management

After you register database instances in Data Management (DMS), you can modify the basic and advanced information of a single database instance or the shared information of multiple database instances at a time. Basic information includes the database account and security rules. Advanced information includes the environment type, the lock-free schema change feature, and the query timeout period and export timeout period. This topic describes how to modify database instances.

If you use the DMS console in simple mode, move the pointer over the icon in the upper-left corner of the console and choose All functions > Data Assets > Instances.
