In Cito all databases are owned (i.e. associated with) a site. This makes it easy to track what databases belong to a site. We call this concept “Database ownership” - all MySQL databases will be owned by a site & system user. This simplifies database management, particularly in cases where DB names are unclear or automatically generated. We recommend you avoid creating databases in PHPMyAdmin as these will not have any owner (or credentials) associated with them.

​
Mapping databases

In cases where we cannot reliably determine a database owner, we’ll display a warning to let you know we’ve found “Orphaned” databases. A dropdown menu will then allow you to select the site that should own that database. This process only needs to be done once. If you make a mistake when assigning an owner, contact support and we’ll help you correct it.
