Question
How to add a database from a remote MySQL/MariaDB server to the local database server?
Answer
Importing the database is a 3-stage process of connecting the server, exporting the database, and importing the export into the local server.
- Connect the remote server to Plesk
- Access the remote server from Tools & Settings > Database Servers with the phpMyAdmin button
- Export the desired database using phpMyAdmin
- Go to Domains > example.com > Databases and create a new empty database
- Import the exported file into the newly created database
