Common Database Management Tasks
These are the tasks that can be performed to manage your database using Oracle Database Service for Azure.
Managing your database is done from the OracleDB for Azure portal, by selecting the icon that represents the database type that you want to manage, either an Oracle Autonomous Database, an Oracle Exadata Database, an Oracle Base Database, or Oracle MySQL HeatWave Cluster.
Figure 1-115 Selecting a Database Type for Management Tasks
While there are different management tasks for each database type and those tasks are performed differently, there is a commonality on how those management functions are accessed from the OracleDB for Azure Portal. After selecting the database type from the OracleDB for Azure Portal, you will see a blade similar to these.

Note
If a function is available for that database type, the icon representing that tasks will be active and highlighted. For example, the Delete task is not active until you select a database to delete.

The management functions directly on the blades are limited. To get to the additional management functions, unique to the database, select the link to the database you wish to managed. As an example, here are the database details and management functions available to an example Oracle Autonomous Database.
