# Databases

Decision and Integration Flows allows you to connect directly to relational databases — read data, write results, manage tables, and run custom SQL queries as part of your Integration Flow.

This section covers everything you need to know to work with databases effectively: from the initial setup through known technical limitations to recommended design patterns.
