# Database Setup

You'll need an empty database for storing your application data. You don't need to create any tables or documents – Gravity will do that automatically for you.

{% hint style="warning" %}
MySQL & Mongo database drivers are included by default. If you're using another database client eg. Postges then please install the relevant driver with npm.
{% endhint %}

Take note of your database credentials, you'll need these during the [setup process](https://docs.usegravity.app/gravity-server/installation/install-gravity).
