Application Databases

Some applications on HiPerGator are configured to create relational databases for the data when they are run. Examples of such applications are PASA, Stacks, and OrthoMCL.

All application databases use 'scratch' storage. As such they can and will be removed without warning after 6 months after their creation or earlier if the space has to be reclaimed, or if the username of the person who created them cannot be identified from the database name, which should have an 'application_username_run' pattern. You have one week to export data once a written notice has been sent to you via email. If data retention is required for a longer period of time for an on-going project contact us via RC Support System and request the databse to be put on a whitelist with a pre-determined end date to protect it from automated removal.
