Administering Plesk via MySQL

[mikelegg]

I see a lot of references in this forum to fixing Plesk problems by editing the MySQL database.

When I type show databases; all I get is the actual mysql database - what database is holds the Plesk data?

In Plesk 7.5 Plesk MySQL instance works at 8306 port number. Plesk settings are stored in psa database. To connect to it use
mysql -uadmin -p<admin_psa_pass> -P8306 psa
