> 🙋‍♂️ **Yusipower** _asked_

## hello everyone, I turned around on heroku to fully use it, do I need to create a mysql database somewhere, or when I click create a project, is the database already being created, or will I only create a schema this way?

#### Yusipower@discord By default, NocoDB users `SQLite` as its database (NC\_DB, shown in simple architecture diagram below). So, any project that you create afresh, will use SQLite database.

#### [Welcome](https://docs.nocodb.com/#architecture---simple-overview)

#### 

#### Additionally, you can go ahead and create project by connecting to existing MySQL, MS SQL, SQLite or Postgres database by providing its connection parameters.

#### Did you setup NocoDB using 1-click deploy to Heroku?

#### [https://docs.nocodb.com/setup-and-usages/dashboard#connecting-to-external-database](https://docs.nocodb.com/setup-and-usages/dashboard#connecting-to-external-database)

#### 

#### On Heroku, default database (NC\_DB) configured is Postgres & is powerful enough for most of operations. So, you can get started with it as is.

#### 

#### Sorry for the confusion above with SQLite. That’s default database in general when deployed using Docker.
