# Database Preparation

You need a database to use Gitea. Gitea supports PostgreSQL (>=10), MySQL (>=5.7), SQLite, and MSSQL (>=2008R2 SP3). This page will guide into preparing database.

The client program is used to test connection to the database from Gitea server, while Gitea itself use database driver provided by Go to accomplish the same thing.
