# Other databases

In addition to the databases with built-in support described in the preceding sections, you can connect to just about any other database using a variety of methods.

`ODBC</topics/databases/supported_engines/odbc>` allows you to connect to any database for which you have an ODBC driver.

Other database you can use include:

- [CubeSQL](http://www.sqlabs.com/): A cross-platform database server based on SQLite.
- [Valentina Database](http://www.valentina-db.com/): A cross-platform columnar-based database (both embedded and server).
- [OpenBase SQL](http://www.openbase.com/): A cross-platform database originally created for OpenStep/NeXT.
- [MonkeyBread Plugins](http://www.monkeybreadsoftware.de/): MonkeyBread offers plugins to connect to databases using JDBC (Java Database Connectivity), a database connectivity standard similar to ODBC. Additionally, they have plugins to directly connect to a wide variety of databases.

Xojo does not endorse any of these products. They are listed here for reference only.
