# Database Management

The CapStorm database management sub-system supports the creation of databases for use with CapStorm applications. Common use cases include:

* A *CopyStorm* database to store a Salesforce backup.
* A *CopyStorm/Restore* tracker database, which contains information about records that can or will be restored.

To create a new database, click the *Create Database* button in the top right of the page. This will open a small panel that allows input for information about the database. An example of this window can be seen below:

The following input parameters are used to create the new database:

* \*\*Name:\*\*The name of the database to create
* **Usage:** How the database will be used for CapStorm applications
  * CopyStorm: Stores SFDC data in tables
  * CopyStorm/Restore Tracker: The backing database for restore processing used to track state of upserted records
* **Description:** A description about the database being created
* **Prevent Deletion**: Checking this box means that the created database cannot be deleted

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://learn.capstorm.com/capstorm-container/reference/database-management.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
