# Description
External DB support for Stirling PDF. You can now choose between the
default H2 or PostgreSQL by setting the new `enableCustomDatabase`
property to `true` or `false`.
To enable your own custom (PostgreSQL) database:
- Set `enableCustomDatabase` to `true`
- Add your database url to `customDatabaseUrl`
- Set your `username` and `password`
Closes#2270
