# Execute SQL tool
A tool that execute SQL queries on a specified relational database.
---
The **Execute SQL** tool enables you to connect to a relational database and run SQL queries, whether entered directly or generated by the systems Text2SQL capability via an **Agent** component. It currently supports three popular databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB.
## Prerequisites
- A database instance properly configured and running.
- The database must be one of the following types:
- MySQL
- PostgreSQL
- MariaDB
## Examples
You can pair an **Agent** component with the **Execute SQL** tool, with the **Agent** generating SQL statements and the **Execute SQL** tool handling database connection and query execution. An example of this setup can be found in the **SQL Assistant** Agent template shown below:

## Configurations
### SQL statement
This text input field allows you to write static SQL queries, such as `SELECT * FROM Table1`, and dynamic SQL queries using variables.
:::tip NOTE
Click **(x)** or type `/` to insert variables.
:::
For dynamic SQL queries, you can include variables in your SQL queries, such as `SELECT * FROM /sys.query`; if an **Agent** component is paired with the **Execute SQL** tool to generate SQL tasks (see the [Examples](#examples) section), you can directly insert that **Agent**'s output, `content`, into this field.
### Database type
The supported database type. Currently the following database types are available:
- MySQL
- PostreSQL
- MariaDB
### Database
Appears only when you select **Split** as method.
### Username
The username with access privileges to the database.
### Host
The IP address of the database server.
### Port
The port number on which the database server is listening.
### Password
The password for the database user.
### Max records
The maximum number of records returned by the SQL query to control response size and improve efficiency. Defaults to `1024`.
### Output
The **Execute SQL** tool provides two output variables:
- `formalized_content`: A string. If you reference this variable in a **Message** component, the returned records are displayed as a table.
- `json`: An object array. If you reference this variable in a **Message** component, the returned records will be presented as key-value pairs.
