Hi folks,  
I can create a connection via the mgmt api and upload custom scripts. However, I can’t find docs on how to toggle the “Use my own database” toggle on the ‘custom Database’ page to ON  
Any pointers?  
Thanks

Hi @viren

You can enable and disable the “User my own database” toggle by setting the enabledDatabaseCustomization using the [PATCH /api/v2/connections/{id}](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Connections/patch_connections_by_id) endpoint with something like:

```
{
  "options": {
    "enabledDatabaseCustomization": true
  }
}

```
