Data Management:Getting started with Data Management

Last Updated:Feb 27, 2026

Data Management (DMS) centralizes database development, security, and operations into a single console. Manage database resources across your organization with standardized change processes, approval workflows, and fine-grained access controls.

Database change management

Define development standards, change processes, and approval workflows per database instance based on its business role.

Feature

Description

Design schemas

Make schema changes through a standardized process.

Regular data change

Run SQL statements on the SQLConsole tab or submit change tickets to modify data.

Lock-free schema changes

Perform schema changes that avoid table locks and reduce replication latency between primary and secondary instances compared to native online DDL operations.

Perform lock-free data change

Run data changes in batches based on the primary key or a non-null unique index to maintain execution efficiency and minimize impact on database performance and storage.

Generate test data

Bulk-generate test data such as random values, region names, and virtual IP addresses without manual preparation.

Use the operation audit feature

View a log of all database operations, including who performed each action and when. DMS records every data query and change in operation logs.

Data security

DMS addresses common data security risks with built-in controls: credential exposure, data leakage from unrestricted exports, slow queries degrading performance, and costly manual auditing.

Feature

Description

Manage permissions

Enforce fine-grained permissions and limit direct access to database accounts and passwords.

Access control

Scope each user's access to specific databases or instances, reducing unnecessary data exposure.

Row-level access control

Restrict data visibility at the row level within tables.

Manage sensitive data

Mark fields such as phone numbers as sensitive to enable column-level data protection.

Customize approval processes for permission applications

Define approval workflows for different types of permission requests.

Data development

DMS includes a data development engine for analysis, visualization, and data mining.

Feature

Description

Task orchestration

Compose task nodes into a task flow for data archiving, data integration, data warehouse development, and data mining.
