Hello, @zelamedia
You can follow the steps and connect your WordPress installation with the managed database. However if you with to export and import your current database and move it from your droplet to the Managed Database you will need to do few more things/task from your end.
Once you’ve installed the MySQL client, you can export your database and then import it to the Managed Database platform.
In order to export your database you can use the following command:
mysqldump --column-statistics=0 -u root -p --databases DB1 > DB1.sql
and to import the database to the Managed Database:
mysql -u doadmin -p -h private-MYHOST.ondigitalocean.com -P 25060 --ssl-mode=REQUIRED DB1 < DB1.sql
Hope this helps!
