# aptible db:restart

This command restarts a [Database](https://www.aptible.com/docs/core-concepts/managed-databases/overview.md) and can be used to resize a Database.

> [!TIP]
>
> If you want to restart your Database in place without resizing it, consider using [`aptible db:reload`](https://www.aptible.com/docs/reference/aptible-cli/cli-commands/cli-db-reload) instead. [`aptible db:reload`](https://www.aptible.com/docs/reference/aptible-cli/cli-commands/cli-db-reload) is slightly faster than [`aptible db:restart`](https://www.aptible.com/docs/reference/aptible-cli/cli-commands/cli-db-restart).
