Editing ClearDB password in VCAP_SERVICES environment variable in Bluemix

Question

I reset the password to my ClearDB database from the dashboard and can't seem to find a way to update the new password in Bluemix's VCAP_SERVICES environment variable, especially with the new console. I could create a custom environment variable but that would force me to edit the code - doesn't seem like a good solution.

Is there a way to do that, short of nuking the db, creating a new one and restoring the data?

Answer 1

Unbind the ClearDB service from the Bluemix application that is using it and then bind it again. VCAP_SERVICES will be updated with new ClearDB password.
