# aptible db:restart

This command restarts a [Database](/core-concepts/managed-databases/overview) 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`](/reference/aptible-cli/cli-commands/cli-db-reload) instead. [`aptible db:reload`](/reference/aptible-cli/cli-commands/cli-db-reload) is slightly faster than [`aptible db:restart`](/reference/aptible-cli/cli-commands/cli-db-restart).</Tip>
