#REDIRECT [[MusicBrainz Database/Download]]

The [[MusicBrainz]] Database (see [[Database|product page]]) is an SQL database that contains all the information about [[Artist|artists]], [[Release|releases]], [[Track|tracks]], [[Advanced Relationships|AdvancedRelationships]] between them, but also the MusicBrainz users ([[Editor|editors]]) and the changes they entered into the database ([[Edit Type|edits]]). MusicBrainz currently uses [[PostgreSQL]] as its underlying database software.

The database can be [[Database Download|downloaded]] from the MusicBrainz website. There are a few guides available on how to setup your own copy of the database, and import the data:
* [[Database Installation|DatabaseInstallation]]
* [[Panther DB Installation|PantherDBInstallation]]
* [[Debian VMWare Database|DebianVMWareDatabase]]
* [[Windows DB Installation|WindowsDBInstallation]]

Once you've got the database running, you might want to setup a working [[Server Development|MusicBrainz Server]] as well.
