Database servers (ISPmanager)
From ISPWiki
A database server is used to manage databases, and performs such operations as data analysis, storage, data manipulation, archiving, and other non-user specific tasks.
This module can be used to customize integration of the control panel with the database servers on local or remote servers. You may register a new database sever and cancel its registration, if necessary.
