<p>Langflow&#x27;s default database is <a href="https://www.sqlite.org/docs.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SQLite</a>, but you can configure Langflow to use PostgreSQL instead.</p>
<p>This guide will walk you through the process of setting up an external database for Langflow by replacing the default SQLite connection string <code>sqlite:///./langflow.db</code> with PostgreSQL.</p>

<p>To connect Langflow to PostgreSQL, follow these steps.</p>
<ol>
<li>Find your PostgreSQL database&#x27;s connection string.
It looks like <code>postgresql://user:password@host:port/dbname</code>.
For example, if you started PostgreSQL with this Docker command:</li>

<p>Your connection string would be <code>postgresql://some-postgres:mysecretpassword@localhost:5432/postgres</code>.</p>
