Stop a Database

This article explains how to stop a database.

For Exasol 2025.1 and later, you can use Exasol Admin to start and stop databases. For earlier versions, you must use either ConfD or the Administration API.

Procedure

All ongoing operations like transactions and backups are aborted upon database shutdown.

A shutdown terminates all database instances on all nodes and consequently the database becomes unavailable.

To shut down a database, click the checkbox next to the database and click Shutdown.

Alternatively, you can click the name of the database you want to shut down, choose the Shutdown action, and click Submit.
