How to Connect to the Plesk database (psa)

[hectorh]

Hello, I'm trying to follow the instructions in the Plesk 8.1 Administrator guide that say:

To change DNS zone serial number format:
1 Connect to the Plesk database (psa).
2 Run the following inquiry:
insert into misc(param, val) values('SOA_SERIAL_MODE', 'YYYYMMDDnn')

But I cannot find any information on how to perform step 1 in any of the documentation. (Why place such instruction in a manual without giving an explanation on how to accomplish it?)

Thank you,

Hector

You need to know which type of database Plesk is using:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PLESK\PSA Config\Config\PLESK_DATABASE_PROVIDER_NAME
2. Use corresponding software to perform query
