# Data Stores
---

Simple-to-Scale Database Options - integrated data stores from laptop to parallelized cluster.   

```python

from llmware.configs import LLMWareConfig

#   to set the collection database - mongo, sqlite, postgres  
LLMWareConfig().set_active_db("mongo")  

#   to set the vector database (or declare when installing)  
#   --options: milvus, pg_vector (postgres), redis, qdrant, faiss, pinecone, mongo atlas  
LLMWareConfig().set_vector_db("milvus")  

#   for fast start - no installations required  
LLMWareConfig().set_active_db("sqlite")  
LLMWareConfig().set_vector_db("chromadb")   # try also faiss and lancedb  

#   for single postgres deployment  
LLMWareConfig().set_active_db("postgres")  
LLMWareConfig().set_vector_db("postgres")  

#   to install mongo, milvus, postgres - see the docker-compose scripts as well as examples

```
