*Except Fisheye and Crucible
Always back up your data before making any database modifications. If possible, test any alter, insert, update, or delete SQL commands on a staging server first.
Under some circumstances, you may have the need to alter a field in the General Configuration, and cannot do so via the Admin interface.
ℹ️ The General Configuration is stored in the database in the bandana table.
Run the following query to see the settings:
1
SELECT * FROM bandana WHERE bandanakey = 'atlassian.confluence.settings';
A sample settings looks like:
BANDANAID | BANDANACONTEXT | BANDANAKEY | BANDANAVALUE |
