Upgrade an instance to Cloud SQL Enterprise Plus edition by using in-place upgrade

MySQL | PostgreSQL | SQL Server

This page shows you how to use the in-place upgrade method to upgrade a Cloud SQL Enterprise edition instance to Cloud SQL Enterprise Plus edition. Additionally, it also describes the procedure to switch a Cloud SQL Enterprise Plus edition instance to Cloud SQL Enterprise edition.

Upgrading to Cloud SQL Enterprise Plus edition provides you with several benefits and performance enhancements. For more information, see Introduction to Cloud SQL for SQL Server editions.

To enable these enhancements for your existing Cloud SQL Enterprise edition instances, you must upgrade them to Cloud SQL Enterprise Plus edition. The upgrade process takes a few minutes to complete

Additionally, this upgrade process doesn't require you to change the endpoints that your applications connect to.

Before you begin

Ensure that you're running a Cloud SQL Enterprise edition instance on SQL Server Enterprise 2019 or SQL Server Enterprise 2022.

Note: If you set the max server memory (mb) flag, then we suggest removing the flag after you upgrade your instance to Cloud SQL Enterprise Plus edition. This way, Cloud SQL can manage the value for the flag automatically. However, if you prefer to set the value, you can revisit the flag value after you upgrade your instance and adjust the value according to the size of the VM.

Upgrade an instance to Cloud SQL Enterprise Plus edition

Use the procedure in this section to upgrade a Cloud SQL Enterprise edition instance to Cloud SQL Enterprise Plus edition.

Console

In the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud SQL Instances page.

Go to Cloud SQL Instances
To open the Overview page of an instance, click the instance name.
Click Edit.
In the Choose a Cloud SQL edition section, click Upgrade.
In the Upgrade to Enterprise Plus panel, enter your instance ID and then click Upgrade edition.

Alternatively, you can also upgrade an instance by clicking Upgrade in the Configuration section of the instance Overview page.

To send your request, expand one of these options:

curl (Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell)

Note: The following command assumes that you have logged in to the gcloud CLI with your user account by running gcloud init or gcloud auth login , or by using Cloud Shell, which automatically logs you into the gcloud CLI . You can check the currently active account by running gcloud auth list.

Save the request body in a file named request.json, and execute the following command:

curl -X PATCH \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
     -d @request.json \
