# Database

Currently, Kouncil supports two databases:

* PostgreSQL
* H2

If no database is specified with below properties, H2 in-memory database will be used.

## Configuration properties

* `spring.datasource.url` JDBC URL of the database
* `spring.datasource.username` login username of the database
* `spring.datasource.password` login password of the database
* `spring.jpa.hibernate.default_schema` sets default schema

## Example

```yaml
spring:
  datasource:
    url: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/
    username: postgres
    password: password
  jpa:
    hibernate:
      default_schema: kouncil
```
