Can I use an external SQL database instead of the bubble native database?

@pbost2002 Yes you can. There is a free plugin that Bubble has provided and we built a paid plugin for those users who need more advanced SQL functionality.

You can find that here: SQL Database Connector Pro Plugin | Bubble

We also have some documentation on configuring the standard (free) Bubble plugin here: Configure SQL Connector - SQL Database Connector Pro

@NigelG There are a number of good reasons to use a SQL backend. I’ll give you one really valid example. Converting an application to Bubble which already has a SQL backend with a lot of data that would be quite a pain to migrate over to the Bubble DB.

However, we (and most others on this forum) recommend using the default Bubble database unless you have a very specific need like the one I mentioned above.

In my opinion, this step should flow in two different ways.
In case your application needs to go from a small application to an enterprise application with large data size requirements
In the case of bubble applications that need to be converted into traditional programs
