# Supported External Databases

This section lists the databases that you can use to store training data:

Supported Database | Requirements
--- | ---
MySQL 8.x | MySQL ODBC Connector 8.0.11 to 8.0.18. Due to an issue in the MySQL ODBC Connector, if you use versions 8.0.12 to 8.0.18 of the connector you must add the option `no_ssps=1` to your DSN configuration or connection string. Do not set `no_ssps=1` with other versions of the MySQL ODBC Connector. (Linux only) unixODBC version 2.2.14 or later.
MySQL 5.7, 5.6.10 or later | MySQL ODBC Connector 5.3.11, 5.3.12, or 8.0.11 to 8.0.18. Due to an issue in the MySQL ODBC Connector, if you use versions 5.3.11, 5.3.12, or 8.0.12 to 8.0.18 of the connector you must add the option `no_ssps=1` to your DSN configuration or connection string. Do not set `no_ssps=1` with other versions of the MySQL ODBC Connector. (Linux only) unixODBC version 2.2.14 or later.
PostgreSQL 12, 11, 10, 9.1 to 9.6 | PostgreSQL ODBC driver 09.03.0300 to 12.01.0000. (Linux only) unixODBC version 2.2.14 or later.

TIP: You can also store asynchronous action queues in a database. If you want to use the same database server to store training data and action queues, review the database requirements in the section Store Action Queues in an External Database, because the requirements for storing action queues might be different.
