Unable to add Microsoft or Postgre SQL database server: only MySQL is available

Symptoms

• The Microsoft or Postgre SQL database server is not available in the Database server type drop-down menu in Plesk > Tools & Settings > Database Servers > Add Database Server.

• The Microsoft or Postgre SQL Server support has the Off value in Plesk > Tools & Settings > License Management.

Cause

The support of the database server is not included in the Plesk license.

Resolution

Both Microsoft SQL and PostgreSQL options are available as part of the following feature packs:

• Developer Pack

• Power Pack

• Hosting Pack

Thus, one of these feature packs should be purchased to support options to the license.

Plesk Web Pro and Plesk Web Host editions include the Developer Pack by default and allows using these database servers.

Web Admin Edition does not provide Developer Pack by default, so Microsoft and Postgre SQL are not available for this type of the license.

After the feature is available in the license, use this documentation article to add support of required database server.
