# SQL

Forest Admin is compatible with the majority of SQL databases, offering the ability to analyze structures including tables, SQL views, and fields, along with their types. It then converts these elements into Forest Admin items such as collections, fields, and relationships.

By default, tables support both read and write operations, whereas SQL views are read-only.
