It helped me a lot, thanks for providing the great article on migrating database to digital ocean

I will pay a non-DO individual $100 per call to answer my simple questions about DO’s platform. As a brand new customer, I refuse to pay $99 per month for customer support. If I’m going to pay out the nose, I’d rather pay 2x or 3x for quick support. For example, I simply need to know how to see a migration log. The “Logs & Queries” tab only shows about 50 “LOG: connection authorized” messages. I can see a 17-minute-long active query, but no useful information.
