# Configuring Databases

When you click on the name of a database in the **Database** section, the **Database configuration** interface displays.

This interface has buttons to manage the database: **Edit,** [Reinitialize](#reinitializing-databases), access to [Permissions](/e/administrator/jmap-server-administrator-manual/jmap-server/security/managing-permissions.md), [Deactivate](#deactivating-databases) or [Delete](#deleting-databases) the database. More details are shown in [Managing Databases](/e/administrator/jmap-server-administrator-manual/resources-databases/managing-databases.md).

Several subsections display information on the database. The parameter values indicated were defined when the database connection was created. Refer to [Creating Databases](/e/administrator/jmap-server-administrator-manual/resources-databases/creating-databases.md) for the details of each parameter. Some parameters can be modified directly in the section, others by clicking on **Edit**.

## Database connection pool

This subsection displays the details of the connection pool. The parameters indicated are the following: Initial size, Maximum size, Pool usage, Pool usage peak, Connection timeout, and Connection wait timeout.
