Changing the M Compatibility Port

Scenarios

GaussDB allows you to use the templatem template to create an M-compatible database. You can enable, disable, or change the M compatibility port for a centralized instance on the console for better compatibility.

Constraints

• M-compatible databases can be created only for centralized instances of version V2.0-8.100 or later and distributed instances of version V2.0-8.200 or later. The distributed instances must be newly created, instead of those upgraded from an earlier version.
• Only one M-compatible database can be created for an instance, and database- and table-level backup and restoration are not supported.
• The M compatibility port cannot be changed for GaussDB instances that contain a database named templatem.
• This operation is not allowed for DR instances. To enable the M compatibility port for a DR instance, delete its DR relationship first.
• Enabling the M compatibility port will reboot the DB instance, during which services are interrupted. Perform this operation during off-peak hours.
• The port must have been enabled in the inbound rule of the security group.
