This document describes how to initialize an instance in the TDSQL Console.

Directions

1. Log in to the TDSQL Console, locate the uninitialized instance in the instance list, and click More > Initialize in the "Operation" column.

2. In the instance initialization dialog box that pops up, select the configuration as needed, and click OK to initialize the instance.

   • Supported character sets: select the character set supported by MySQL.
   • Case-sensitive table name: set whether the table name of database is case-sensitive.
   • Enable strong sync: enable strong sync to ensure data consistency in the secondary instance in case the primary fails. At least 2 nodes are required for this option to work.
     

3. Return to the instance list to locate the instance. When the status changes Running, the instance can be connected.
