Every Supabase project gets a full [Postgres](https://www.postgresql.org/) database, not a Postgres abstraction. This database is the foundation that Auth, Storage, Realtime, and Edge Functions are built on, and Supabase manages daily database backups and offers point-in-time recovery on paid plans.

Work with your project's database in the following ways:

- Visually using the [**Table Editor**](/dashboard/project/_/editor) section of the Dashboard.
- With query syntax using the [**SQL Editor**](/dashboard/project/_/sql) section of the Dashboard.
- Programmatically using a variety of different methods.
