Execute SQL statements on the SQLConsole tab without being constrained by security rules - Data Management

Data Management (DMS) provides the super SQL mode. After you enable this mode for a database instance as a DMS administrator, a database administrator (DBA), or the DBA of the database instance, you can execute SQL statements on the SQLConsole tab without being constrained by security rules. For example, you can execute the DELETE and CREATE INDEX statements on the SQLConsole tab without being constrained by security rules.

Background information

To improve the security and stability of database instances, DMS administrators, DBAs, and DBAs of database instances tend to configure security rules for database instances. For example, an unauthorized user cannot execute DML statements for database instances in a production environment on the SQLConsole tab. To apply for the required permissions, the user must submit a ticket.

However, security rules also bring inconvenience to users who are granted high-level permissions such as DMS administrators, DBAs, and DBAs of database instances. To execute SQL statements without being constrained by security rules, such users can execute SQL statements in super SQL mode.

Prerequisites

You are a DMS administrator, a DBA, or the DBA of the database instance. For more information, see System roles.
The database instance for which you want to enable the super SQL mode is managed in Stable Change or Security Collaboration mode in DMS. For more information, see Control modes.
