# Databases

***

Flowise soporta 4 tipos de databases:

* SQLite
* MySQL
* PostgreSQL
* MariaDB

## SQLite (Default)

SQLite será la default database. Estas databases se pueden configurar con las siguientes environment variables:

```sh
DATABASE_TYPE=sqlite
DATABASE_PATH=/root/.flowise #tu preferred location
```

Un archivo `database.sqlite` será created y saved en el path especificado por `DATABASE_PATH`. Si no se especifica, el default store path será en tu home directory -> .flowise

**Note:** Si ninguna de las environment variables está especificada, SQLite será la fallback database choice.

## MySQL

```sh
DATABASE_TYPE=mysql
DATABASE_PORT=3306
DATABASE_HOST=localhost
DATABASE_NAME=flowise
DATABASE_USER=user
DATABASE_PASSWORD=123
```

## PostgreSQL

```sh
DATABASE_TYPE=postgres
DATABASE_PORT=5432
DATABASE_HOST=localhost
DATABASE_NAME=flowise
DATABASE_USER=user
DATABASE_PASSWORD=123
PGSSLMODE=require
```

## MariaDB

```bash

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.flowiseai.com/espanol/documentacion-oficial/configuracion/databases.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
